Gibson, authored by Thiago Gomes DeCastro, describes the relationship between phenomenology and experimentation in psychology on the basis of two distinctive experimental psychologists' trajectory throughout the twentieth century, and concludes that experimental phenomenology practices are organized by pragmatic descriptive criteria associated to suspension of functional hypothetical models. Notwithstanding, it notes the important distance from this experimental phenomenology project to pure foundational phenomenology.
