Document Summary
Theoretical debate facilitates experimental competition, creating more experiments.

Find a cognitive process that has been independently studied such that we are confident we understand it, have a good grasp on how reliable its performance is, and that we can predict its behaviour. Colors listed, but in a different color ink: green, purple, red, yellow, etc. There"s an interference effect (cid:894)people sa(cid:455) (cid:862)(cid:271)luu gree(cid:374)!

You can then see how other processes interact with your cognitive probe, and that will give you important information about the process. Process: find a robustly independent, reliable cognitive process (like the strupa effect), and then examine the interaction between your cognitive probe and the process you are studying.
