Not to be confused with any of the following, unless it is in the end identical to one or more of them: Analogy and Metaphor; Artificial Intelligence; Noam Chomsky; Collective Cognition; Emotion; Evolutionary Psychology; Linguistics Machine Learning, Statistical Inference and Induction; Neural Nets and Connectionism; Neuropsychology; Neuroscience; Philosophy of Mind; "Pre-Cognitivism"; Herbert Simon; Social Neuroscience; Thought and Society; L.

Noam Chomsky, "A Review of B. F. Skinner's Verbal Behavior," Language 35 (1959): 26--58 [online]
Denise D. Cummins, The Other Side of Psychology: How Experimental Psychologists Find Out About the Way We Think and Act [Of course, cognitive science is more than just cognitive psychology, and experimental psychology is more than just cognitive psychology.]
Stanislas Dehane, The Number Sense
Daniel Dennett writes, among other things, extensively about the philosophical implications of cognitive science, in the process explaining a lot of it, and defending the general approach of orthodox cognitivists.
Marcello Frixione, "Tractable Competence", Minds and Machines 11 (2001): 379--397 [Cognitive systems do not, in fact, routinely solve intractable problems, so theories which postulate that they do are bad. Calling them "competence" theories is no excuse.]

Brought to my notice by reading an interesting comment by Frederick Toates, TiCS 8 (2004): 57 (link), pointing out that much of what Evans believes to be uniquely human has parallels in other animals, suggesting that the dual-systems design has older evolutionary roots.]
