Abstract

The article “Robust Modeling in Cognitive Science” (2019) by Lee et al. makes several recommendations about best practices for cognitive science modelers. Many of these are reasonable and will not be discussed in this commentary. I believe several other critically important recommendations either put too much emphasis on less important components of good practice, or are somewhat misguided, and suggest that these are distorted in part because they are based on a misunderstanding of, or a failure to take into account, the goals of modeling. This commentary will highlight those areas where I believe the recommendations for good modeling practice deserve refinement and change.
