Esther Thelen, Lisa Feldman Barrett, and Michael Levin have all done research that can usefully be synthesized under the umbrella of psychological constructionism, for a sufficiently general understanding of “psychological”. There are plenty of other names that should be credited for contributing to the burgeoning constructionist synthesis, many of which are cited in the works of Thelen, Barrett, and Levin. I focus on these three in part because each has produced a body of work that is comprehensible and engrossing to nonspecialists, which is vital to producing a synthesis that spans fields and sciences, and in part because they’re the ones whose work I read the most.
