Should psychology follow the methods and principles of the natural sciences? Introduction to the debate
This debate issue centers on the question of whether psychology should follow the methods and principles of the natural sciences. Answers to this question are often implicitly assumed but rarely explicitly debated among psychologists. This issue contains eight invited contributions by scholars whom we anticipated would have strong and divergent positions on the question. The articles present a broad range of perspectives, ranging from phenomenolo…

Rational Intuition: Philosophical Roots, Scientific Investigations
What is intuition? What constitutes an intuitive process? Why are intuition concepts important? After many years of scholarly neglect, interest in intuition is now exploding in psychology and cognitive science. Moreover, intuition is also enjoying a renaissance in philosophy. Yet no single definition of intuition appears in contemporary scholarship; there is no consensus on the meaning of this concept in any discipline. Rational Intuition focuses…

Rethinking Situatedness: Environment Structure in the Time of the Common Code
Common coding proposes a shared representation in the brain between perception, execution, and imagination of movement. This neural-level representation is considered to support a “direct activation” of action by perception/imagination of movement at the behavioral level. We examine how this two-tier model, where a representation at the neural level supports “direct activation” at the behavioral level, relates to the notion of situatedness—the re…

On Critical Engagement with the Mainstream: Introduction
This Special Issue foregrounds a need for critical reflection on the assumptions, biases, goals and effectiveness of the subdiscipline `theoretical and philosophical psychology.' Pivotal to the Issue is a contrast developed between criticism of and critical engagement with `mainstream' psychology. Contributions address a range of evaluative themes relating to theoretical and philosophical psychology's identity, representative breadth, impact, ins…
Dissenters in the Sanctuary: Evolving Frameworks in `Mainstream' Cognitive Science
Critiques of cognitive psychology and cognitive science principally target cognitiv ism, defined here as doctrinal commitment to computational processing over internal representations as a model of human intelligence. This paper reviews the principal points of critique, but argues that some prominent efforts within cognitive science currently exhibit conceptual and methodological broadening, to the point of revision or rejection of the core assum…

Method and Theoretical Psychology
Few discussions of method appear in relation to the conception and practice of theoretical psychology, despite calls for a theoretical subdiscipline and other forms of organization. This paper argues that the popular conception of method as explicit rule detracts from recognition of the practical and ethical implications of attention to theoretical psychology's own implicit methodological problems. It challenges the necessity of the method as rul…

Severe intellectual disability and transition to adulthood
Institutional and psychological aspects of transition were explored with parents and staff involved with five young adults with severe intellectual disability whose challenging behaviour diminished after they made the transition, and five whose challenging behaviour remained high. They were selected from a previously surveyed cohort. Grounded theory analysis of interviews suggested little connection between the perspectives of parents and staff. …
Conceptual Problems in the Development of a Psychological Notion of “Intuition”
Despite increased interest in “intuition” within cognitive psychology, the conceptual framework of this notion remains problematic. This paper argues that conceptual shortcomings stem from a tendency to ignore the philosophical heritage of intuition or to dismiss the relevance of this heritage to contemporary theory. The paper outlines major understandings of intuition within psychology and prominent philosophical traditions, highlighting importa…
Similarity and attraction among majority and minority groups in a multicultural context
As a policy for managing cultural diversity, assimilation has emphasized similarity—attraction, whereas multiculturalism highlights a “celebration of differences”. We tested two competing hypotheses, similarity-attraction and similarity-differentiation, among samples from six ethnic groups in Greater Montreal, Canada. Six-hundred and five participants were interviewed by means of an individually administered structured interview procedure conduct…
Social Constructionism and the Pragmatic Standard Revisited: A Reply to Botschner
The argument that only a weak version of social constructionism allows for a generative psychology and therefore honors the pragmatic standard is challenged by Botschner, who claims that the proposed advantages of weak constructionism are not clear. Botschner's comments seem to stem from a number of misconceptions about the original argument and from some points of divergence in the reading of Wittgenstein and James. These misconceptions are addr…
Social Constructionism and the Pragmatic Standard
It has become increasingly evident that traditional positivistic explanations are not adequate for the explanation of human behavior. Alternative explanations have arisen in recent years in response to dissatisfaction with traditional models. Social constructionism is one prominent alternative. The appropriateness of constructionism as a model for psychology has yet to be sufficiently evaluated. The objective of this paper is to propose one crite…
