不忽略主流學術的趨勢、不盲從一般流行的看法：研究生涯的回顧與反思

A Benefit-Cost Analysis of Existing Knowledge in My Research Career: A Review and Reflection

在本文裡，我整理我過去的研究生涯與學術活動。我發現我是一個不安分的研究者。我過去40年的研究，橫跨了10個領域40個主題，這10個領域包括了人格測驗的向度研究，物件的知覺，條件化歷程，學習與記憶，語文理解與幽默歷程，概念的學習與思考，華語文的認知處理，華人的情緒類別及其結構，心理計量與統計程式的設計，以及意識與無意識認知與認知的自我監控。在本文裡，我所回顧的研究有兩類。其中的一類是本土認知心理學的研究；另一類是我最近在意識與無意識記憶以及自我監測精確性上面的研究。

In this paper, I review the research with which I have been occupied in the past forty years. As a result, I found that my research was occupied by 10 areas and by 40 topics, mostly in cognitive psychology. The 10 areas include factor analysis of personality inventory, classical conditioning, learning and memory, language comprehension and humor process, concept acquisition and thinking, cognitive processing of Chinese language, Chinese emotion category and structure, scaling and statistical program, conscious and unconscious memory, and metacognitive monitoring. The studies to be reviewed in this paper can be classified into two categories. One is indigenous approach to cognitive psychology. The other is about my current interests in the topics of dissociation of conscious from unconscious memory within a test and measure of metacognitive monitoring accuracy.
