What is really wrong with a priori claims of universality? Sampling, validity, process level, and the irresistible drive to reduce
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 33 (2-3):107-108 (2010)
Abstract
Catchy acronyms such as are good mnemonics. However, they carry the danger of distracting us from deeper issues: how to sample populations, the validity of measuring instruments, the levels of processing involved. These need to be considered when assessing claims of universality regarding how the mind works – a dominant and highly rewarded drive in the behavioral and brain sciencesMy notes
