1 What has (neuro)psychology told us about the mind (so far)? 1

2 What can functional neuroimaging tell the experimental psychologist? Richard Henson (2005) Neuroimaging data as another dependent variable. Two types of inference from imaging data: -function-to-structure deduction -structure-to-function induction 2

3 What has functional neuroimaging told us about the mind (so far)? Coltheart (2006) “No functional neuroimaging research to date has yielded data that can be used to distinguish between competing psychological theories”. Behavioral data have been successfully used to distinguish between psychological theories: -Serial versus Parallel Processing in Reading -Semantic Contributions to Reading Aloud 3

4 WHAT HAS (NEURO)PSYCHOLOGY TOLD US ABOUT THE MIND (SO FAR)? A REPLY TO COLTHEART (2006) Richard Henson (2006) The natural selection of theories. Imaging data can be used to test competing theories. Researches using Behavioral data : -Serial versus Parallel Processing in Reading -Semantic Contributions to Reading Aloud 4

5 WHAT HAS (NEURO)PSYCHOLOGY TOLD US ABOUT THE MIND (SO FAR)? A REPLY TO COLTHEART (2006) Richard Henson (2006) Recognition memory- The Remember/Know paradigm: Dual-process theory vs Single-process model 5

6 WHAT HAS (NEURO)PSYCHOLOGY TOLD US ABOUT THE MIND (SO FAR)? A REPLY TO COLTHEART (2006) Richard Henson (2006) The systematic function–structure mapping assumption 6
