Russian term or phrase: ограничивать познавательные возможности
Stuck again. I'm on my third read through of this text now and I really must post the bits that have tripped me up on each pass. What does this mean? Limit their cognitive possibilities? Huh?

К сожалению, приверженцы данного направления существенно ограничивают познавательные возможности, отрицая, к примеру, важность ремонтажа для восстановления палеотехнологий (обратные примеры см. Гречкина 1984, Демиденко, Усик 1994, Степанчук 1994).

neutral  Olga Cartlidge: I would use "restrict" but "the scope of research" would probably be correct. In other words, they confine themselves to a very restricted understanding of the issues at hand.
