Cognitive science reports on many mental issues, but there is no model of the mind on which all cognitive scientists agree: at least explicitly.
In this essay (published at https://cognitivesciencesociety.org/framework-cognitive-science/), I argue that cognitive science does in fact have a basic model which goes beyond either behaviorism or even the theory of categories which has been formalized into categories. This basic model is described throughout the book, so this brief essay explains the psychological context from which the model can be understood.
