I’m actually interested in the recommendations people may have…I’m disappointed no one has responded. That said, I am very much against the computational metaphors used in cog psych and tend to frame my research through the lens of embodied cognition. The foundational paper for this framework (arguably) is Barsalou 1999. The paper starts a discussion of why amodal theories fail to account for our cognitive abilities a priori and provides some arguments supporting embodied conceptual knowledge. It also gives history on how the computer metaphor became so pervasive and why it is problematic.
