Überlegungen zur Bedeutung der bildgebenden Hirnforschung für die Psychologie
Abstract
Zusammenfassung. Trotz der großen Popularität der bildgebenden Verfahren in den Neurowissenschaften stellen sich einige kritische Fragen, welche die Logik und die Methodologie der Hirnforschung betreffen. Darüber hinaus gibt es Zweifel am Erkenntnisgewinn, den die Psychologie aus der lokationsorientierten Hirnforschung ziehen kann und es entsteht die Gefahr, dass zentrale Fragestellungen der Psychologie der hirnanatomischen Perspektive untergeordnet werden.
Abstract. Despite the great popularity of neuroimaging, there exist some serious epistemological and methodological doubts. In addition, there are hesitations about how much psychology can gain from findings on the cerebral location of mental phenomena. Moreover, there is the risk that central issues of psychological research may be abandoned in favor of queries from neuroanatomy.
