摘要
In this response to the commentaries on the target article, "Where developmental psychology and neuroscience meet: A threatening or a felicitous encounter?" I address three nuclear topics. First, I make explicit some underlying assumptions that prevent us from reducing psychological to neurological phenomena. Second, I delve deeper into the relationships between neurological and psychological levels. In so doing, I describe some strengths and shortcomings of neuroimaging techniques in their attempt to analyse brain functioning. Finally, I add some evidence illustrating that Neuroscience can place the Nature/Nurture debate on more productive grounds.
