Information processing as one key for a unification?

Abstract

The human information-acquisition process is one of the unifying mechanisms of the behavioral sciences. Three examples (from psychology, neuroscience, and political science) demonstrate that through inspection of this process, better understanding and hence more powerful models of human behavior can be built. The target method for this - process tracing - could serve as a central player in this building process of a unified framework. © 2007 Cambridge University Press.
