Hmm interesting. The word seems to be used very differently—at least on the surface. A cognitivist to me is a traditional cognitive psychologist that interprets the mind in strict computational terms. (In contrast, newer theories argue that the brain in a vat metaphor is wrong, that brains evolved within bodies, bodies within environments, all of which are essential to cognition.)

Not sure if there is an interesting interdisciplinary discussion to be had here; I'll chime back in if there is.

Edit: As I'm reading further, I may by default fall under the emotivist camp.
