What can't functional neuroimaging tell the cognitive psychologist?
In this paper, I critically review the usefulness of functional neuroimaging to the cognitive psychologist. All serious cognitive theories acknowledge that cognition is implemented somewhere in the brain. Finding that the brain "activates" differentially while performing different tasks is therefore gratifying but not surprising. The key problem is that the additional dependent variable that im...
متن کاملWhat can functional neuroimaging tell the experimental psychologist?
I argue here that functional neuroimaging data--which I restrict to the haemodynamic techniques of fMRI and PET--can inform psychological theorizing, provided one assumes a "systematic" function-structure mapping in the brain. In this case, imaging data simply comprise another dependent variable, along with behavioural data, that can be used to test competing theories. In particular, I distingu...

Psychologists have long been concerned about the use of eyewitness testimony in the courtroom. Recently, it has been suggested that experimental psychologists should testify as expert witnesses in cases involving eyewitnesses to inform the jury about problems with eyewitness testimony. In this article we examine the arguments offered in favor of the use of expert testimony about eyewitnesses. W...
متن کاملWhat Does the Brain Tell Us About Trust and Distrust? Evidence from a Functional Neuroimaging Study
Determining whom to trust and whom to distrust is a major decision in impersonal IT-enabled exchanges. Despite the potential role of both trust and distrust in impersonal exchanges, the information systems literature has primarily focused on trust, alas paying relatively little attention to distrust. Given the importance of studying both trust and distrust, this study aims to shed light on the ...
متن کاملDevelopmental neuroimaging: a developmental psychologist looks ahead
The study of the mature human brain has moved forward at a rapid pace over the last 10 years, thanks in large part to the invention and use of a variety of neuroimaging methods. As the papers in this volume attest, many of these methods are now available for the study of the developing human brain, both in normal children and in children with a variety of developmental disabilities. These metho...
