Abstract

Kuhn's epistemology has inspired research within psychology of knowledge. At the same time, researchers have taken Kuhn's categories to theorize on their findings. Finally, Kuhn himself turned towards them to illuminate his concept of scientific development and to build the foundation of a scientific research psychology. The issue about psychology epistemological rules is at the background of these reciprocal influences.
