Abstract
Abstract Psychological and neuroscientific explanations strongly constrain one another, so much so that psychology has become an integral part of cognitive neuroscience. The functional analyses of classical cognitive psychology can be integrated with neuroscientific explanations to form multilevel mechanistic explanations of cognition. At each level of mechanistic organization, a mechanism explains phenomena by showing that they are produced by suitably organized components. This requires abstraction from irrelevant causes and lower level details, which abstraction is an essential aspect of mechanistic explanation. Therefore, psychological and neuroscientific explanations are not autonomous from one another.
