Neuroscientific localization cannot guide how to make behaviors happen

Evidence

We are currently witnessing pervasive biological reductionism. Knowing where things happen in the brain does not tell you how to make them happen. For example, knowing the locality and brain circuitry that subserve learning can say little about how to devise learning conditions in terms of level of challenge; how to get people to study particular subjects; and whether learning is best achieved independently, cooperatively, or competitively. These factors have no conceptual counterpart in neurobiological theory. Hence, they are not derivable from biological theory. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 311

Categorization

• DEFINE: Clarifies what biological reductionism cannot accomplish: localizing brain circuitry tells you nothing about the psychosocial factors that make behavior happen.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement: How People Do Harm…, 311
