Cognitivism, a prevailing standpoint in psychology and cognitive sciences in general, constitutes a paradigm for the understanding of the mind, which apparently, is compatible with science’s materialistic postulates. That way, it would seem that approach would be the first fully scientific attempt, conceived to research and develop explanations regarding the mind. However, when some core elements of cognitivism are examined, it can be seen that, within it, this perspective contains a reductionist maneuver that leaves out some main components of the psyche, somewhat continuing the historical Cartesian tradition of denying the mind as a physical and natural phenomenon. In this work, the core postulates of cognitivism are reviewed, and analyzed under the light of Rene Descartes’ substance dualism, in order to reveal how much of this philosophical perspective is still present in the new sciences of the mind, restricting our understanding of the cognitive processes.
