Cultural Problems Cannot Be Solved with Technical Solutions Alone

Abstract

A crisis in psychology has provoked researchers to seek remedies for bad practices that might damage the integrity of the discipline as a whole. The ardor for wholesale reform has led to a suite of proposed technical solutions, some of which are considered in the context of computational modeling by the target article. Any technical solution, however, must be placed within a larger cultural and scientific context to be effective (or, indeed, meaningful at all). Many of the suggestions presented in the target article represent good practice in computational cognitive modeling but, even then, still require some amount of nuance in the consideration of the relationship between practice and theo..
