Whereas Cognitive Research has traditionally mainly studied cognitive processes (e.g., attention, perception, or memory) isolated from one another to ensure strong experimental control, this project takes a different approach to argue that Cognitive Science, as a discipline, is mature enough to start jointly studying several cognitive processes and their interactions. In contrast to traditional process-specific research, SASP will take a cross-process approach where previous research from different subfields will be integrated into a unitary model that treats cognition as a continuum rather than as isolated compartments
The current project aims at mimicking a more naturalistic approach to cognition in the real world, where different processes interact with each other, and where the output from one process becomes the input for another process in the future. This integrative approach will uncover relationships among processes that could facilitate or interfere with each other when they are allowed to interact.
