Of mice and men: The comparative assumption in psychology
International Studies in the Philosophy of Science 5 (1):3 – 19 (1991)
| Abstract | Abstract Surprisingly, little theoretical attention has so far been paid to the ?Comparative Assumption?: the attempt to extrapolate from species to species in psychology (and particularly to the human species). This paper examines the problems and the possibilities inherent in the Comparative Assumption. Perhaps the most important conclusion of the paper is that much more work is needed on this intriguing question | |||||||||
