A barnstar for you!

Hi Snagglepuss, I am profoundly impressed by your great work on Cognitive psychology. Very well done indeed! Lova Falk talk 13:56, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

either cognitive or ???

edit

Hi Snagglepuss, I found an unfinished sentence in your addition to Cognitive psychology. in the section Personality psychology, you wrote: "Those five traits include neuroticism, extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, and are all either cognitive" - and that's it. Now, either cognitive or... ??? I cut this sentence for now, but would you please reinsert a complete version? Thank you! Lova Falk talk 13:59, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Lova, thanks for your editorial work on my revisions to the cognitive psychology article. Looking back through my saved edits, I saw this fragment and honestly don't know what went on there. It's likely that I had some train of thought going and got side-tracked and never returned to that section. Thanks for cleaning it up for me. Snagglepuss24 (talk) 14:56, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Actually, if you don't remember what you intended to write, it's actually a bit unclear why the Big five should be mentioned in the cognitive psychology article...
I will work on clarifying this and providing motivation for its inclusion. Snagglepuss24 (talk) 15:18, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Cognitive psychology vs. cognitive science

edit

And more question. You wrote: "Cognitive psychology envelopes a much broader scope, which has links to philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, neuroscience, and particularly with artificial intelligence. It could be said that cognitive science provides the database of information that fuels the theory from which cognitive psychologists operate."
I think you might have made a mistake and should have written: "Cognitive science envelopes a much broader scope, which has links to philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, neuroscience, and particularly with artificial intelligence. It could be said that cognitive science provides the database of information that fuels the theory from which cognitive psychologists operate."
Please change this if I am correct! Lova Falk talk 14:15, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

You are absolutely correct in assuming that this was intended to read cognitive science envelopes... I have rectified this typo. Thanks once again for your help. Thank you very much also for the barnstar. I have really enjoyed working on the article and look forward to being able to help out on other articles the future.

Great!   You might like to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychology. The talk page of this project is also a good place for finding help with psychology articles. Lova Falk talk 15:07, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
