OK, I will accept your gentle chastisement and agree with you. BUT--does it really matter what the construct is called? You can call it a cognitive age or a mental age, but aren't we talking about the same thing? And I will most definitely read your article. I don't believe anyone has called me "cher Carol" before. Lots of other things, but never that. :)

"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: http://www.yorku.ca/christo/papers/cog-orig.htm (Of course, you're correct that most psychologists were never fully clued in to this critical distinction, and often used them synonymously).
