Kievit et al.'s target paper exemplifies a trend in recent years in psychology and neuroscience to focus on internal mental and neural processes without integrating actual behavior. We discuss the theoretical status of behavior in the context of their model, and present an extension of the model that explicitly includes behavior. Several theoretical and methodological issues relevant to integrating behavior into the model are considered, particularly the distinction between behavior as measured in the laboratory along with neural and psychological processes (proximal behavior) and behavior as measured in situ as part of ongoing daily experience (distal behavior). We conclude by describing several studies that integrate neural, psychological, and behavioral indicators and discuss how these kinds of studies can facilitate a better understanding of behavior and contribute to theory development.
基维特等人的目标论文体现了近年来心理学和神经科学领域的一种趋势,即专注于内部心理和神经过程,而不将实际行为纳入其中。我们在他们的模型背景下讨论行为的理论地位,并提出该模型的一个扩展,明确纳入行为。我们考虑了与将行为整合到模型中相关的几个理论和方法问题,特别是在实验室中与神经和心理过程一起测量的行为(近端行为)和作为日常实际体验一部分在现场测量的行为(远端行为)之间的区别。我们通过描述几项整合神经、心理和行为指标的研究来得出结论,并讨论这类研究如何能够促进对行为的更好理解并为理论发展做出贡献。
