Five recurring errors in history of psychology textbooks are discussed. One involves an identical misquotation. The remaining examples involve factual and interpretational errors that more than one and usually several textbook authors made. In at least 2 cases some facts were fabricated, namely, so-called facts associated with Pavlov's mugging and Descartes's reasons for choosing the pineal gland as the locus for mind-body interaction. A fourth example involves Broca's so-called discovery of the speech center, and the fifth example involves misinterpretations of Lloyd Morgan's intentions regarding his famous canon. When an error involves misinterpretation and thus misrepresentation, I will show why the misinterpretation is untenable.
本文讨论了心理学史教科书中反复出现的五个错误。其中一个涉及相同的错误引用。其余例子涉及事实和解释性错误，这些错误不止一位，通常是几位教科书作者犯下的。至少在两个案例中，一些事实是编造的，即与巴甫洛夫被抢劫相关的所谓事实，以及笛卡尔选择松果体作为身心交互场所的原因。第四个例子涉及布洛卡所谓的言语中枢的发现，第五个例子涉及对劳埃德·摩根关于其著名法则的意图的错误解读。当一个错误涉及错误解读从而导致错误表述时，我将说明这种错误解读为何站不住脚。
