如果心理学要取得进步，重新设计心理学的方法论至关重要。本文探讨了有助于克服图梅拉概述的方法论危机的方法论策略（科学文化：心理学方法论思维的奇怪历史。综合心理与行为科学，2007，doi：10.1007/s12124-007-9004-0）。首先，我描述了一个经典的研究项目（即巴特利特的记忆实验），它体现了“德国-奥地利”心理学方法的优点。其次，我详细阐述了这些见解，以研究记忆的其他方面。最后，我概述了未来心理学研究的方法纲领，以新的综合方式克服了现有的实验形式。新的方法论借鉴了两种传统，即通过对单个案例的丰富描述以及将其定性转变为能够解释所有单个案例的复杂理论。
Reworking psychology’s methodology is of utmost importance if the discipline is to progress. This paper explores methodological strategies which could help overcome the methodological crisis outlined by Toomela (Culture of Science: Strange History of the Methodological Thinking in Psychology.Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science, 2007, doi: 10.1007/s12124-007-9004-0 ). First, I describe a classic research program (i.e., Bartlett’s experiments on remembering) that exemplifies the virtues of a “German–Austrian” approach to psychology. Second, I elaborate upon these insights to investigate other aspects of remembering. Finally, I conclude by outlining a methodological programmatic for future research in psychology that overcomes existing forms of experimentation in a new synthesis. The new methodology borrows from both traditions advancing via rich description of single cases and their qualitative transformation to complex theory capable of explainingallindividual cases.
