Abstract
Comments on an article by Jan De Houwer et al. (see record 2017-15804-001). In their target article, De Houwer et al. describe an archipelago of islands each colonized by a different tribe of psychologists, with little awareness of their neighbours. They focus particular attention on two tribes – the cognitivists and the functionalists – who appear to share many interests (they study the same topics, try to solve the same problems), but who have diverged in their scientific methods and theories. Worse, these two tribes communicate very little, and so do not learn from each other. The authors are troubled by this, and so offer the tribes a solution, focusing on application.
