And this is probably a more informative one:

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/cognitive-science/

Basically... That was the start of the cognitive revolution. People began to realise that the methods of behaviourism were severely limited and some aspects of human behaviour were best explained by such things as 'beliefs, desires, memories, imaginings' etc.

Rather than psychology being the science of behaviour...
People worked out some methods to enable them to study mental states scientifically...

On with the march of science...

(consciousness... the last frontier...)
