I was indoctrinated into cogsci as an MIT Course IX major in the 80s, and really that’s what I think about when I think about the field. I have no idea if MIT itself is considered “mainstream” or not, though.
As someone who has taken cogsci classes more recently than that, I don’t think the timing of the research is that relevant or anything else. Your earlier comment seems to summarize decently what aspects are not part of mainstream cogsci (or possibly even mainstream thought at all).
It occurs to me, now that you point this out, that my earlier comment about “mainstream cogsci” may have been misleading.
