Zusammenfassung Der Aufsatz thematisiert die Kategorialanalyse als empirisches Verfahren zur Konzipierung psychologischer Grundbegriffe. Es wird gezeigt, dass die in der Grundlegung der Psychologie vertretene Auffassung, Kategorien seien ausschließlich historisch-empirisch fundierbar, nicht zu halten ist; vielmehr kann Aktualempirie in die Kategorialanalyse eingehen. Abschließend wird gefragt, was dies für das Profil der Kritischen Psychologie heißt. Schlagwörter: Kategorien, Einzeltheorien, historische und Aktualempirie, Vorbegriffe Summary Categorial analysis and actual empiricism. A critical remark on Klaus Holzkamp's "Grundlegung der Psychologie" The article is concerned with the concept of categorial analysis as an empirical method for the conceptualization of the fundamental terms of psychology. It is shown that Holzkamp`s notion, that categories can exclusively be founded by means of historic empiricism, is indefensible; in fact it is possible that actual empiricism becomes part of the categorical analysis. Finally, the article will raise the question about the consequences of this theoretical shift for the Critical Psychology itself. Key words: psychological categories, single theories, historic and actual empiricism, pre-terms

Discussions about innovation are often made difficult because people are unclear about the exact meanings of some key terms. In particular there is confusion about the difference between creativity, innovation and invention.

"The research described in this paper is the investigation of interactivity between learners and system in the context of remote access to educational field explorations (field trips). The concept is described generically as remote access field trip (RAFT). The interactivity framework proposed for assessing RAFT considers it within the context of live distance education and needs to be judged in terms of set interaction criteria, e.g. learner & learner, learner & instructor, learner & content and learner & interface. This paper proposes that criteria for distance learning interaction assessment should consider also how the leaner interacts with a pervasive interface. This is particularly relevant in this context because the system involves participants interacting with a pervasive system within a live field trip experience, and creates a unique human-system interaction in the educational domain."
