摘要

During the past four decades, modern cognitive psychology has established an extensive catalogue of empirical facts from carefully controlled laboratory experiments. Typically, such facts specify systematic relations between environmental situations and the actions of people in them. As the literature illustrates, researchers have become quite adept and rigorous at establishing these relations, and we now know a great deal about people's abilities to identify objects, control attention, store information, use language and think. The goal of the laboratory enterprise, however, is not to develop empirical facts per se but to infer cognitive mechanisms from them. These mechanisms can be viewed as high-level functional accounts of systems in the brain that process information, somewhat like systems-level conceptualizations of computers. Because neuroscience has thus far been unable to identify such mechanisms, cognitive psychologists have developed clever and powerful tools for inferring them from behavior. The goal of theory in cognitive psychology is to establish a unified account of the brain's information-processing mechanisms, which can eventually be reduced to neuronal mechanisms, at least to a significant extent.
