Cognitive revolution were inspired by digital computers

I found this to be an interesting phenomenon as our mind (The mind) is something that our ancestors have been using for a long time, but we don't really understand it, until psychologists were inspired by how digital computer works, which are things that we invent later. This seemed to have a similar theme to Use of innovations often precedes understanding.

Luckily, just as psychologists were questioning behaviourism, a new technology was emerging that suggested a new way of describing the operation of the mind. That new technology was the digital computer.
