From Cognitive Theories to Experiment
Original language description
Experimental methods hold an important place in the natural and social sciences largely due to their ability to generate confident causal conclusions. The experimental paradigm allows the researcher to move beyond mere correlative relationships, enabling the investigator to directly infer causal relationships among the phenomena studied. For the past few decades, empirical and other types of experiments have also become key tools in the cognitive science of religion,108despite the fact that as recently as the 1980s the use of experiments in religion research seemed to represent an “impossible dream.”109 Since that time, the emergence of cognitive science of religion (CSR) has created a link between study of religions, anthropology and the cognitive sciences. The result of this new paradigm for the study of religions has not only come in the form of new theories explaining important aspects of religion (dissemination of ideas, ritual behavior, prosocial behavior of religious groups, the role of religion in human evolution history, etc.) but also new methods for testing hypotheses and theories connected to these phenomena.
