The cognitive revolution offered an alternative to merely analyzing human behavior, using the notion of computation to rigorously express hypotheses about the mind. Computation also gives us new tools for testing these hypotheses - large behavioral databases generated by human interactions with computers and with one another. This kind of data is typically analyzed by computer scientists, who focus on predicting people's behavior based on their history. A new cognitive revolution is needed, demonstrating the value of minds as intervening variables in these analyses and using the results to evaluate models of human cognition.
认知革命提供了一种替代方案，不再仅仅分析人类行为，而是利用计算概念来严谨地表达关于心智的假设。计算还为检验这些假设提供了新工具——通过人类与计算机以及彼此之间的交互生成的大型行为数据库。这类数据通常由计算机科学家进行分析，他们专注于根据人们的历史记录来预测其行为。我们需要一场新的认知革命，以证明心智作为这些分析中的干预变量的价值，并利用结果来评估人类认知模型。
