Dig­i­tal Human­i­ties in the His­to­ry of Psy­chol­o­gy (the Case of Vladimir M. Bekhterev’s Name)

Abstract. The arti­cle dis­cuss­es the prob­lems and prospects for using the method­ol­o­gy of Dig­i­tal Human­i­ties in the his­tor­i­cal psy­cho­log­i­cal stud­ies. The authors present the results of the search and analy­sis of the men­tions found for the name of the out­stand­ing psy­chophys­i­ol­o­gist, psy­choneu­ro­lo-gist, and psy­chol­o­gist Vladimir M. Bekhterev (1857–1927) in the body of texts in the Google Books sys­tem in Russ­ian and Eng­lish lan­guages. Hypothe­ses are advanced regard­ing the high or low fre­quen­cy of ref­er­ences. The dis­sem­i­na­tion of the scientist’s ideas in var­i­ous sci­en­tif­ic fields is ana­lyzed in both Russ­ian and Eng­lish. The results of the men­tion­ing fre­quen­cy study on the names of Vladimir Bekhterev and Lev Vygot­sky are com-pared to define the fac­tors that deter­mine the use of the name and these sci­en­tists’ ideas. The advan­tages and dis­ad­van­tages of qual­i­ta­tive and quan­ti­ta­tive analy­sis and inter­pre­ta­tion of texts with­in the frame­work of dig­i­tal human­i­ties are shown.

Key­words: dig­i­tal human­i­ties, dig­i­tal human stud­ies, Bekhterev, text analy­sis, inter­pre­ta­tion, fre-quen­cy of ref­er­ences, Google Books.
