In the last century, models addressing the emergence of mind from its organic basis led to the development of Cognitive Architectures. Nowadays, this tendency is facing great development, by means of the introduction of original and crucial principles. This paper introduces a historical review of this field, followed by the introduction of the most remarkable of these new principles, “small world networks”. Next, the paper proceeds with a systematic review of recent studies in “small world cognitive networks” (2007-2009). At last, the new concepts in cognitive architecture are applied for the etiological and nosological comprehension of schizophrenia, psychopathology’s distinguished puzzle.
