Abstract
It is the aim of psychological research to explain behavior, and physiological psychologists believe that the most—possibly the only—satisfactory explanation is in terms of neural functioning. Successfully relating data at one level to data at a different level requires a good theoretical framework; physical chemistry, for example, would be impossible without a theory of elements and of the atomic nature of chemical reactions, and no simple explanation of celestial motion in terms of gravitational and inertial forces would be possible starting from the assumption that the earth is stationary.
