Experimentation or observation? Of the self alone or the natural world?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 27 (2):271-272 (2004)
| Abstract | One important lesson of Roberts' target article may be potentially obscured for some by the title's reference to “self-experimentation.” At the core of this work, the key investigative resource is sustained and systematic observation, not experimentation, and it is deployed in a fashion not necessarily restricted to self-examination. There is an important reminder here of a strategically important, but neglected, relationship between observation and experiment. | |||||||||
