认为得出关于不可接近的感知过程或经验的结论的研究应该通过展示充分的理由来验证它们,以相信所观察到的行为在某种意义上忠实地报告了不可接近的过程。 20 世纪 50 年代中期,知觉研究人员广泛采用了“贪欲验证”方法。合适的奖励方案与奖励最大化行为的假设相结合,以允许对基础过程进行相当直接的推断。严重不恰当的行为对预期收益的影响相对较小。成本和回报是指导党员做什么或确保他们这样做的相当微弱的手段。这一事实的后果通过 3 种特定的感知实验进行了检验。探讨了实验设计、解释实验结果和决策理论的意义。(26 参考)(PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2016 APA,保留所有权利)
Argues that research that reaches conclusions about inaccessible perceptual processes or experience should validate them by exhibiting good reasons to believe that the observed behavior in some sense faithfully reports the inaccessible processes. In the mid-1950s, perceptual researchers widely adopted a validation by cupidity approach. Suitable reward schemes combine with the assumption of reward-maximizing behavior to permit fairly direct inferences of underlying processes. Seriously inappropriate behavior produces relatively little reduction in expected payoff. Costs and payoffs are rather feeble means of instructing Ss what to do or ensuring that they do it. Consequences of this fact are examined in 3 specific kinds of perceptual experiments. Implications for experimental design, interpreting experimental results, and decision theory are explored.(26 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
