A claim for cognitive history

Henry M Cowles et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

History is a potential tool for cognitive scientists interested in metacognitive categories like "creativity" and "innovation." As a way of thinking, history suggests alternative accounts of the development of innovation and growth, for example. Life History Theory is one such account, but its roots in the Industrial Revolution make it a problematic tool for telling the history of that period.
