Abstract

Yarkoni makes a number of valid points in his critical analysis of psychology, but he misses an opportunity to expose the root of its problems. That root is the poor practice around the derivation of explanatory constructs. We make comment on this with an example from behaviorist history and relate this to the recent discussion of scientific understanding in the philosophy of science.

摘要

亚科尼在其对心理学的批判性分析中提出了一些有价值的观点，但他错失了一个揭露其问题根源的机会。根源在于解释性概念的推导方面实践较差。我们以行为主义历史上的一个例子对此进行了评论，并将其与最近科学哲学中关于科学理解的讨论联系起来。
