summaryScott Jordan is currently the Chair of the Department of Psychology at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois where he is also Director of the Institute for Prospective Cognition ( http://my.ilstu.edu/~jsjorda/Institute_for_Prospective_Cognition.html ). His empirical research focuses on the relationship between spatial perception and action planning, with an increasing emphasis on social influences. His theoretical work (i.e., Wild Systems Theory) focuses on moving scientific psychology away from the current computational-ecological debate, toward an integrated framework that conceptualizes organisms as embodiments of the phylogenetic, cultural, social, and developmental contexts from which they emerged and in which they sustain themselves.
