【摘要】 在心理学研究过程中,确定可以操作的研究问题和如何将研究问题付诸于实验,使之成为心理学的实验研究,是整个研究过程最为重要的阶段和任务。心理学研究内容广泛,这里,我仅在基础心理学领域对我们以往的研究中做一小结。选择研究问题和将问题付诸于实验是两个问题。在选择问题方面,我们的研究主要从以下两个方面:1.以已发表的文章为基础、寻找其空白点提出问题,如研究论文:《工作记忆中转换加工的内源性准备和外源性调节》(郭春彦等,2007)。2.观察日常事件,从日常生活中发现可以升华成科学研究问题的现象出发,提炼研究问题。这类研究问题的发现往往可能成为原创型研究问题,如研究论文:Electrophysiological correlates of forming memories for faces,names,and face-name associations(Guo et a1.,2005)。在将研究问题付诸于实验方面,问题的关键是在研究问题和实验预期结果之间建立可操作的研究假设和实验设计,使实验可以操作和执行,并获得可靠的结果。如研究论文:《东莨菪碱对大鼠空间参考记忆和工作记忆的不同影响》(于萍,郭春彦等,2009):Distinct neural mechanisms for repetition effects of visual objects(Guo et a1.,2007)。更多还原

【Abstract】 During the process of psychology researching,the most important stage and mission is determining operational topics and thinking about how to put them into experiment.Under the wide range of psychology research,I select our previous studies which focus on the realm of basic psychology as examples and make a summary.Selecting topics and making the topics experimental are two different issues.Our previous studies mainly selected topics by two methods:one is based on the published papers and searching the gaps,for instance:The endogenous preparation and exogenous adjustment of switching process in working memory(Guo et al., 2007).The other one is observing daily events,refining the valuable phenomenon which is discovered from daily life.This type of topic usually would be original research,and here is an example:Electrophysiological correlates of forming memories for faces, names,and face -name associations(Guo et al.,2005).The key point is building operational research hypotheses and experimental design as a bridge between the topics which would be researched and the expected results,then make the experiment operational and executable and get reliable result,such as following paper:Scopolamine has different influences on spatial reference memory and spatial working memory in rats(Yu & Guo et al.,2009);Distinct neural mechanisms for repetition effects of visual objects(Guo et al.,2007).更多还原
