In this article, I take a selective review of work undertaken by my colleagues and me in an attempt to show the enduring importance of the "fine cuts" approach to psychology. This approach highlights the importance of causal, specific, and falsifiable psychological models, and the rigorous experimental designs needed to test them. I hope the review shows that it is still necessary to consider cognition, despite the exciting advances in Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and computational modelling characterising our field.
在本文中，我将对我和同事们所做的工作进行选择性回顾，以试图展现“精细剖析”方法对心理学的持久重要性。这种方法强调了因果性、特定性和可证伪的心理学模型的重要性，以及检验这些模型所需的严格实验设计。我希望这次回顾表明，尽管我们这个领域在大数据、人工智能和计算建模方面取得了令人兴奋的进展，但仍然有必要考虑认知因素。
