"Of Immortal Mythological Beasts: Operationism in Psychology" by C.D. Green on 2009-11-07
- Thus, it has become painfully evident to philosophers
  for some time that psychologists, by and large, are not well equipped
  when it comes to defending the epistemological and ontological
  assumptions which underlie their research and, if they turn out
  to be indefensible, that a great deal of psychological research
  might well rest on philosophical quicksand.
- Lakatos (1970) called the typical methodological
  practices of psychologists 'intellectual pollution' and 'machinery
  for producing phoney corroborations. . . where, in fact there
  is nothing but an increase in pseudo-intellectual garbage' (p.
  176n.)

- [9]
  To fill your cup and let it overflow is not as good as stopping it in time.
  If you hone your blade too sharp, it will soon lose its edge.
  When gold and jade fill the halls, no one can hold onto it.
  To flaunt one’s wealth and fortune is to bring about ruin.
  Instead, the Way of Heaven is to finish one’s work and retreat.

- - In ancient antiquity the sage kings were careful with words;
    When their work was complete and the affairs of the state were in order,
    Their subjects all said, “We act (/are governed) naturally”. [自然]

    again, the juxtaposition/counterweighting of opposites: in this case believing that all is natural with the state of affairs though language is used in measured and careful ways (which is much less natural than fluid conversational speech)
  - Though neighboring villages are within sight of each other,
    So that even their chickens and dogs can be overheard,

- Speech and gesture together comprise an utterance and both together externalize thought; they are believed to emerge from the same underlying cognitive
  representation and to be governed, at least in part, by some of the same cognitive processes (Kendon 1980, 2000; McNeill 1985, 1992).
- Participants in dyadic interaction gaze at their interlocutor around 75% of the time when listening (Argyle and Ingham
  1972; but see also Kendon 1967, and Argyle and Cook 1976, for findings which show considerable variability in this respect), and they gaze particularly at the speaker’s face (e.g.,
  Gullberg and Holmqvist 1998) and even more specifically at the speaker’s eye-region (see Argyle and Cook 1976) during actual talk. Gaze at other parts of the body during face-to-face conversation can not only be discriminated but may
  on occasion be socially negatively sanctioned (see Argyle and Cook 1976). So, one prediction might be that when viewing video-recordings of speakers talking, participants may spend more time gazing at parts of the body other than the face, including the hands.

- - This
    research found that, overall, the pattern of gaze behavior was actually very similar in the three conditions; the life-sized
    video screen condition differed hardly at all from the face-to-face condition, which led the authors to conclude that using
    this type of video screen yields ecologically valid findings which can be compared to gaze behavior in a face-to-face condition.
  - Gullberg 2003) tested the association between overt fixations of gestures and up-take of information about motion direction. This study
    showed, firstly, that addressees sometimes overtly fixated gestures but did not process the information from these gestures,
    and, secondly, that addressees often picked up information (at a level above chance) from gestures that they themselves did
    not overtly fixate but which were looked at by the speaker-gesturer him or herself. This suggests that overt visual fixation
    of gestures is not a necessary prerequisite for processing semantic information from gestures, at least with respect to directional
    information. Moreover, the authors’ conclude that speaker-fixation of gestures may provide an important interactional cue
    influencing addressees’ information up-take from gesture.
