Abstract Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) was one of the most polymathically brilliant scientific thinkers in American history. He was also arguably the first American experimental psychologist, strongly influencing some of the nation’s earliest modern psychology pioneers. Yet partly because of the lasting effects of personal scandals and powerful enemies, he has been almost entirely forgotten by the broader field of psychology. This article aims to briefly reintroduce Peirce as a historically important figure in psychology to a general audience and highlight a few ways in which his trailblazing perspectives point to pervasive deficiencies and opportunities in psychological science. First, his pioneering writings on the economy of research call on us to consider how diminishing returns may plague our research programs, potentially leading to waste of time, money, and intellectual labor in our communities of inquiry. Second, his pragmatic maxim of clarity for intellectual constructs provides a compelling framework in which to understand how jingle and jangle fallacies often undercut the cumulativeness of our field. We contend that Peirce’s work, much of it still unpublished, is a rich resource for psychological scientists across many domains.

CS Peirce 与心理科学被遗忘但经久不衰的关联

摘要 Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) 是美国历史上最博学的科学思想家之一。他也可以说是第一位美国实验心理学家，强烈影响了美国最早的一些现代心理学先驱。然而，部分由于个人丑闻和强大敌人的持久影响，他几乎完全被更广泛的心理学领域所遗忘。本文旨在向广大读者简要介绍皮尔斯作为心理学历史上重要的人物，并强调他的开创性观点指出心理科学普遍存在的缺陷和机遇的几种方式。首先，他关于研究经济的开创性著作呼吁我们考虑收益递减可能如何困扰我们的研究计划，可能导致我们的调查社区浪费时间、金钱和智力劳动。其次，他对知识结构清晰的务实准则提供了一个令人信服的框架，可以在其中理解叮当声和叮当声的谬误如何经常削弱我们领域的累积性。我们认为，Peirce 的大部分工作尚未发表，对于许多领域的心理科学家来说是一个丰富的资源。
