> Like you, I imagine there are a number of legacy systems in the brain that coordinate in interesting ad-hoc ways.

I'm sorry if I have missed something obvious, but where does haberman claim such a belief? As far as I can see they are just questioning the application of the scientific method and the strength of conclusions that can be drawn from the results.

You didn't miss anything, I misspoke. I didn't mean to imply he held that that specific belief.

I don't have any reading suggestions, sorry. Psychology has a lot of interesting and useful localized results (like the list of cognitive biases I linked to before), but I don't believe any rigorous unified theory of cognition exists. At least I've never come across one.
