psychrev-boundary-conditions

separate

Use when setting the scope of a Psychological Review theory — what it explains, what it does NOT, and (for formal models) whether its parameters are identifiable. Bounds the theory; it does NOT derive its predictions (psychrev-argument-development) or frame its advance over rivals (psychrev-contribution-framing).

When to use

• setting the scope of a Psychological Review theory
• defining phenomena in and out of scope
• stating population and domain limits
• naming conditions of breakdown
• checking structural identifiability
• demonstrating parameter recovery
• addressing model mimicry
• listing what the theory does not explain

When not to use

• deriving theory predictions
• framing advance over rivals
