The notion that AI has ignored cognitive science is not true.  In
fact, many AI pioneers were founding members of the Cognitive Science Society.
Its journal has published some of the most influential work in AI.  Just
to illustrate, here are a few of the well-known "AI scientists" who have
published in the journal Cognitive Science:

		D. Bobrow		A. Newell
		E. Charniak		S. Papert
		F. Hayes-Roth		R. Schank
		W. Lehnert		H. Simon
		D. McDermott		T. Winograd
		M. Minsky		Y. Wilks

Now, if you want to argue that AI & Cognitive Science have neglected
studying the brain instead of the mind, that's an entirely separate issue.
