Abstract
Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field which aims to understand the mind. Pioneering research over the past 60 years has yielded significant advances in describing the architecture of cognition. However, we suggest that the rate of progress seen in the last century may not be sustainable. While a central feature of natural phenomena is their redundancy, the defining feature of the mind is its complexity. Future research efforts may meet with diminishing returns, as informational redundancy in cognitive processes becomes increasingly difficult to identify.
