>"Social Sciences"

Because no replication.
Thankfully, that's changing though.

because they are not actual sciences, its just conjectures derived from statistics, they should be called "social studies" or something similarily less misleading

>>9135478
That's not laughable at all.
They're putting in effort to replicate results.
The subfield of mathematics I'm working on involves lots of computation, so results are seldom replicated simply because they take so many CPU years.

because no matter what the evidence is from their study they will always come to the same conclusion, which is their pre-existing beliefs.

>>9135877
is it?

>>9136035
should cognitive neuroscience come under social studies too?

Psychology has never been a science. The most famous psychologist was a philosopher who believed all babies wanted to fuck their moms without a shred of evidence to back it up.

>>9136109
Studies that arent replicated arent necessarily unreplicable though! There is very little direct replication in science these days I feel.

>>9137231
You are correct. The current culture in science is that if you try to replicate someone else's result you are wasting time and money because it will never get published; "Ummm this work has already been published"

>>9135478
>this scientific method is interesting, we should try it more often
no shit

>>9137236
in an ideal world papers would only get published if the experiments were all replicated.

>Doesn't replicate a study/experiment
>Calls itself a science
Replication is literally the most important part of science, even more important than experimentation.

You can replicate a study anon as well. Do you think collecting data is an experiment?

>>9137567
>Do you think collecting data is an experiment
replicating an experiment is still conducting an experiment

Most modern psychologists hate Freud.

>>9137228
Freud was a neurologist though.

70% of psychology don't replicate at all so are Pseudoscience, specially branches based on Freud & Marxism.
The 10% of psychology that replicate are branches more closely tied to Chemistry & Biology such as Medical Neurology, Neurochemistry & Evolutionary Psychology.
20% of Psychology are branches that partially replicates so are partially right but flawed such as Psychometrics (IQ test) & Behavior analysis.

>>9138502
Irrelevant.

>>9138517
Wheres your sources? I think youre talking crap

>>9138535
Neurochemistry aka the research on how Chemical Neurotransmissores such as dopamine, serotonin, GABA, & Noradrenalin affect our brains & neuronal cells are pretty much settled.
Studies on how serotonin regulates our sleep.
How dopamine is related to addiction, reward, happiness & motivation.
How Noradrenalin cause the fight or fly response.
How GABA Activate our synapses.
Etc.
There are literally thousands of studies in Nature about Neurochemistry that often replicate.
https://www.nature.com/search?journal=nature%2Cnews&q=Dopamine
Unlike other fields of Psychology such as Freudian Psychoanalysis that often do not replicate.

>>9138535
Neurochemistry replicates because it's more based on Biochemistry, a harder science.
Ideally should be based on Biophysics. Because theories based heavily on Math & Physics are rigorous & precise so more trustworthy.
The rest of Psychology often don't replicate because it's based less on Biochem & more based on flawed bullshit ideas from Philosophy & Sociology.
On top of that Freud theories are just kinky & sexually perverted pseudoscience bullshit.
Marxism experimentally failed all times. The Marxist Utopia never existed in History. So theories based on marxism don't have experimental basis.

>>9138613
>>9138636
All youve done is describe things. Where is your 70, 20, 10 figure from? Why you bringing freud and marx into it? Do you actually know what youre talking about. And from experience in a behavioural neuroscience lab, i know there are still replication difficulties in these areas.

I'm not a grad.
I'm just an EE undergrad sperger & libertarian who started to read Neuroscience papers just because I wanted to understand deeper about my Autism/ Asperger.

>>9138695
I'm just an EE undergrad student but I started to become interested in how Neuroscience can be applied to Artificial Intelligence. AI is a promising & interesting EECS research field.

>>9138695
Simulating Brain in a Computer Model or by Neutral Networks
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_neuroscience
Using more harder sciences as Math, Physics & EE to create a Computer Model for a Human Brain.
Describing thoughts mathematically or by more precise physical laws.
Not by Humanities & Philosophy bullshit.
Creating the breakthrough to create better Artificial Intelligences.

>>9138695
I think that the only way to save psychology is to make it heavily based on mathematically rigorous physical models using Computational Neuroscience.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_neuroscience
And to discard all SLOOPY Freudian Humanities bullshit.

Spoken like a true undergrad. Strict neurotransmitter-behavior relationships are now more under fire than ever. It's increasingly evident that single neurons can and do synthesize and release mixed populations of neurotransmitter and can even demonstrate neurotransmitter-specific microdomain terminal boutons on single axons of single neurons synthesizing multiple small-molecule NTs.

If behavioral pharmacology were this simple, all of behavioral neuroscience would have been settled 30 years ago and SSRIs would work perfectly. There is a reason people are increasingly interested in systems/circuit level function as a more coherent explanation of behavior.
