Abstract

This paper presents a critical review of the cognitive revolution in psychology and the epistemological implications for the scientific status of psychology. Cognitive psychology was born in the fifties and the information processing is its main “paradigm”. It has been diffused as a scientific revolution as proposed by T. Kuhn. This proposal is false and raises doubts about psychology as a science. I suggest the abandonment of the Kuhn’s philosophy on account of the normative naturalism, a useful solution for psychologies.
