Dr Vance has developed a new model of human memory based on functional neuroimaging (fMRI) scans and computer simulations of neural networks. He asserts that because his model relies on state-of-the-art technology, it is fully scientific.
Discuss at least two features of science and evaluate the extent to which Dr Vance’s model, or cognitive neuropsychology more broadly, meets these criteria. In your answer, make reference to another psychological approach or empirical study for comparison.
