Humans as Scientists: Scientists as Humans

Abstract

This article discusses how constructivist psychology might contribute to studies of the history and philosophy of science. I suggest that this would be a fruitful topic for graduate research and provide a brief analysis of what would be required to model the construct systems involved in the Priestley-Lavoisier controversy over the roles of phlogiston and oxygen in calcification. I also suggest that the rich literature and conceptual frameworks of science studies can contribute significant enhancements to constructivist psychology.
