11.5 Present and Future Directions
• The four approaches of experimental cognitive
psychology, cognitive neuropsychology,
cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience
differ in their strengths and weaknesses. As a
result, what is needed in order to maximise our
understanding of human cognition is to use the
method of converging operations. This method
involves making use of a variety of approaches
to consider any given issue from different
perspectives.
• When this method is applied with two
approaches, there are two possible
outcomes:
1. The findings obtained are broadly
comparable.
2. The findings differ significantly.
