And should probably include also:

 * Outdated models - brain lateralization, sole rep system, etc.
 * Controversies - including professional views, etc

Comments and discussion of above structure
Outdated Models... Definitely a good section to add. Perhaps with some sourced quotes on the nature of how things progress in NLP.Doc Pato 21:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * And how they become outdated too. It's pretty much inherent in the choice of practice over theory. Want to edit it into the above? Its easier for collaborative editing, than editing the entire article. FT2 (Talk) 22:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
