What have neuroscientific techniques contributed to the development of psychological theory about short- and long-term memory? We argue that the contributions have been varied: In some cases, data about brain mechanisms have been vital to the advancement of psychological theory; in other cases, neuroscientific data and behavioral data from normal participants have made equal contributions; and in yet other cases, the data from neuroscientific approaches have actually led psychological theory astray. We illustrate these various contributions by focusing on the relationship of short- to long-term memory.
神经科学技术对关于短期和长期记忆的心理学理论发展有哪些贡献?我们认为这些贡献是多样的:在某些情况下,关于大脑机制的数据对心理学理论的推进至关重要;在其他情况下,来自正常参与者的神经科学数据和行为数据做出了同等贡献;还有一些情况下,神经科学方法得出的数据实际上误导了心理学理论。我们通过关注短期记忆与长期记忆的关系来说明这些不同的贡献。
