Post-cognitive psychology

This paper speculates about what will, and should, follow cognitivism in ps ychology in the new century. It highlights the importance of the work of Wi ttgenstein, Sacks and Edwards for the development of post-cognitive psychol ogy. Cognitivism is criticized for failing to conceptualize practices in a way that recognizes their action orientation and co-construction, and to ap preciate how they are given sense through people's categories, formulations and orientations. Discursive psychology focuses on the production of versi ons of reality and cognition as parts of practices in natural settings. It is offered as one potential successor to cognitivism.
