摘要

佛洛伊德的科學研究乃始於神經組織學及臨床神經學。他提出「刺激總量」的概念。從神經心理學的角度看來，這絕對是一個具預言性的論點，使得在大約一百年之後，紀錄大腦皮層的電位成為可能，後者具有所謂「刺激總量」的特質。這篇文章首先討論佛洛伊德如何發展出關於刺激總量的假設。進一步，本文將對日後尚該假設發展出的研究及發現作詳盡的回顧。這些研究及發現使得客觀心理學的建立成為可能。

For a decade, Freud's scientific study was devoted to neurohistolology and clinical neurology. Freud assumed the concept of ”sum of excitation”. From a neuropsychological viewpoint, it is certainly a prophetic statement, for about a hundred years later we are able to record cortical surface potentials that seem to bear the character of such a ”sum of excitation”. This article provides us with a discussion on how Freud developed his hypothesis of ”sum of excitation”. It also provided a thorough literature review on later important studies which have been based on this hypothesis, all contribute to the establishment of an ”objective psychology” based on neurology.
