Human Cognition in Its Social Context.

Wyer, Robert S., Jr.; Srull, Thomas K.

Psychological Review, v93 n3 p322-59 Jul 1986

A model of how the human cognitive system operates in its natural social context is presented. The model focuses on both input and output variables that have been ignored in the development of most other cognitive theories. Unique predictions of the model and empirical evidence bearing on them are discussed. (Author/LMO)
