Au contraire, cher Carol! "Cognitive" was developed with the express 
intention of excluding those parts of "the mental" which were not 
subject to a certain kind of logical analysis (e.g., the ones that had 
caused so much trouble in the early part of the 20th century, such 
"consciousness.") Read my article:

correct that most psychologists were never fully clued in to this 
critical distinction, and often used them synonymously).
