Yeah, a well written and amusing blog. I'v read the last but one on Coltheart, too. Now seriously, psychology is not just RT, it’s also rather sophisticated theories, including those by Coltheart and coworkers, Levelt, Rayner etc. etc. Though they say very little to nothing about the localization of processes in the brain, some of them make rather detailed predictions about the course of the processes. Finally, Coltheart’s view is no longer that strong – see Tressoldi et al. (2012}: Using functional neuroimaging to test theories of cognition. Cortex 48, 1247–50.
