Cognitive scientists shed new light on core concepts of the social sciences: rationality, expectation, identity, social status, intergroup communication, and time perception to name a few. At the crossroads of disciplines, a burgeoning literature (in social neurosciences: Swencionis and Fiske 2014; cognitive sociology: Zerubavel 1999; Cerulo 2014; or cognitive social sciences: Lizardo 2014) creates fascinating opportunities to advance our understanding of the sociocultural underpinnings of mental processes. This paper joins this endeavor by pairing the discoveries of social and cognitive scientists to revisit focal issues of the migration studies literature.
