作者简介
罗杰·霍克(Roger R. Hock),博士是美国门多西诺学院(Mendocino College)的心理学教授,在心理学方面有多年教学经验。在教学过程中,他发现大多数心理学教科书因篇幅有限,无法详细介绍作为学科基础的研究过程,于是筹备本书以填补教科书与科学研究之间的沟壑。1992年出版本书的第1版之后,好评如潮且备受关注。霍克站在学科发展的高度,纵观心理学研究的发展历程,精心筛选出对心理学发展影响*大、文献引用较多且至今仍受关注的40项研究,范围涵盖广泛,介绍全面详实。

本书的主要优势在于,罗杰·霍克以一种独到清晰的文风,总结了心理学史上重要的一些研究。
——琳达·皮尔斯,曼多纳大学心理学教授
心理学是一门科学,是研究人的心理规律的知识体系的科学,有其发生发展的历史,有其历史上值得总结、学习和发扬的一系列研究。我翻阅这本书,被其内容所吸引,书中介绍的研究都是在心理学史上非常有名的原创性研究。本书既是一部高水平的学术著作,又是一部通俗的心理学读本,具有科普性。因为全书内容生动、形式活泼,可读性强,所以本书不仅适合心理学界的同事欣赏,也值得广大心理学爱好者浏览。
——林崇德,中国心理学会前理事长,北京师范大学教授、博士毕导师
对于初学心理学的人来说,大多数人很想读一读心理学的经典研究,充实和提高自己。但是,在具体的实践过程中,常常是将经典研究读了一半,大部分人就放弃了。因为每一项研究,既包括了许多专业术语,又包括了理论假设、实验方法、实验设计、数据的统计分析、结果的分析讨论和结论等等,真是“太难了”,让读它的人感到眼花缭乱、无所适从。然而,《改变心理学的40项研究》一书的出现,使一切发生了改变。作者不仅是一位心理学家,而且也是位优秀的教育家和作家,用自己简练的思维和那支“生花的”妙笔,将“枯燥的”心理学经典研究变成了一个又一个“引人入胜的”故事。阅读此书,会将你逐渐带入神秘的心理世界,在揭开心理学神秘面纱的同时,也会让你感到心理学将不再“枯燥”、不再“远离实际”,也不再“高不可攀”。同时,阅读这些经典研究,还会让你折服于心理学大师们的绝妙思路和天才的想法。

精彩书摘
You are probably aware that the two halves of your brain are not the same and that they perform different functions. For example, in general the left side of your brain is responsible for movement in the right side of your body, and vice versa. Beyond this, though, the two brain hemispheres appear to have much greater specialized abilities.
It has come to be rather common knowledge that, for most of us, the left brain controls our ability to use language while the right is involved in spatial relationships, such as those needed for artistic activities. Stroke or head-injury patients who suffer damage to the left side of the brain will usually lose, to varying degrees, their ability to speak (often this skill returns with therapy and training). Many people believe that each half, or hemisphere, of your brain may actually be a completely separate mental system with its own individual abilities for learning, remembering, perceiving the world, and feeling emotions. The concepts underlying this view of the brain rest on early scientific research on the effects of splitting the brain into two separate hemispheres.
That research was pioneered by Roger W. Sperry (1913–1994), beginning about 15 years prior to the article examined in this chapter. In his early work with animal subjects, Sperry made many remarkable discoveries. For example, in one series of studies, cats’ brains were surgically altered to sever the connection between the two halves of the brain and to alter the optic nerves so that the left eye transmitted information only to the left hemisphere and the right eye only to the right hemisphere. Following surgery, the cats appeared to behave normally and exhibited virtually no ill effects. Then, with the right eye covered, the cats learned a new behavior, such as walking through a short maze to find food. After the cats became skilled at maneuvering through the maze, the eye cover was shifted to the cats’ left eyes. Now, when the cats were placed back in the maze, their right brains had no idea where to turn, and the animals had to relearn the entire maze from the beginning.
Sperry conducted many related studies over the next 30 years, and in 1981 he received the Nobel Prize for his work on the specialized abilities of the two hemispheres of the brain. When his research endeavors turned to human participants in the early 1960s, he was joined in his work at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by Michael Gazzaniga. Although Sperry is considered to be the founder of split-brain research, Gazzaniga’ s article has been chosen here because it is a clear, concise summary of their early collaborative work with human participants and it, along with other related research by Gazzaniga, is cited often in psychology texts. Its selection is in no way intended to overlook or overshadow either Sperry’ s leadership in this field or his great contributions. Gazzaniga, in large part, owes his early research, and his discoveries in the area of hemispheric specialization, to Roger W. Sperry (see Sperry, 1968; Puente, 1995).
To understand split-brain research, some knowledge of human physiology is required. The two hemispheres of your brain are in constant communication with one another via the corpus callosum, a structure made up of about 200 million nerve fibers (Figure 1-1). If your corpus callosum is cut, this major line of communication is disrupted, and the two halves of your brain must then function independently. If we want to study each half of your brain separately, all we need to do is surgically sever your corpus callosum.
But can scientists surgically divide the brains of humans for research purposes? That sounds more like a Frankenstein movie than real science! Obviously, research ethics would never allow such drastic methods simply for the purpose of studying the specialized abilities of the brain’ s two hemispheres. However, in the late 1950s, the field of medicine provided psychologists with a golden opportunity. In some people with very rare and very extreme cases of uncontrollable epilepsy, seizures could be greatly reduced or virtually eliminated by surgically severing the corpus callosum. This operation was (and is) successful, as a last resort, for those patients who cannot be helped by any other means. When this article was written in 1966, 10 such operations had been undertaken, and four of the patients consented to participate in examination and testing by Sperry and Gazzaniga to determine how their perceptual and intellectual skills were affected by this surgical treatment.

前言/序言
Welcome to the seventh edition of Forty Studies that Changed Psychology. For over 20 years this book has been a mainstay for many college and high school courses around the world and has been translated into six languages. The majority of the studies included in this edition are the same ones that made up a large part of the first edition. This demonstrates how these landmark studies continue today to exert their influence over psychological thought and research. These original studies and the ones that have been added or changed over the years provide a fascinating glimpse into the birth and growth of the science of psychology, and into the insights we have acquired trying to unravel the complexities of human nature.
Many studies of human behavior have made remarkable and lasting impacts on the various disciplines that comprise the vast field of psychology. The findings generated from this research have changed our knowledge of human behavior, and they have set the stage for countless subsequent projects and research programs. Even when the results of some of these pivotal studies have later been drawn into controversy and question, their effect and influence in a historical context never diminish. They continue to be cited in new articles; they continue to be the topic of academic discussion, they continue to form the foundation for hundreds of textbook chapters, and they continue to hold a special place in the minds of psychologists.
The concept for this book originated from my three decades of teaching psychology. Most psychology textbooks are based on key studies that have shaped the science of psychology over i
