ABSTRACT
If there is one underlying implication in the following essays it is the inadequacy of the information-processing model for cognitive psychology. It might be held that no story about information receipt and processing tells the whole truth about perception, for example, simply because there is more to perception than the strictly epistemic factors that the connection between perception and belief implies. There is thus in the end a close relationship between the papers in all three sections. Although some of them had originally different aims from that of others, they fit together within a general framework of understanding. One way of putting that would be to say that both for cognitive psychology and for certain aspects of social psychology it is important to reckon with the fact that the individuals who in the end make up the subject matter of those studies are persons or selves.
