title: The cognitivist's revenge?
abstract: The recent articles by F. Mechsner (2004) and his colleagues (F. Mechsner, D. Kerzel, G. Knoblich, & W. Prinz, 2001) have once again fuelled the cognition vs. motor debate. In this commentary, the author takes an historical perspective and argues that Mechsner' stance represents just another phase in this continuing dialogue. Finally, the value of such false dichotomies in the progress of the field is questioned.
