- Origins of Psychology
- The PPl
- Rene Descartes (1596-1650)
- "I Think Therefore I Am" & mind & body independent from each other & mind object of study in own right.
- John Locke (1632-1704)
- proposed emprisicsm = experience gained through senses = understand events in world by investigating = observe & measure
- Charles Darwin (1809- 1882)
- Bio approach = evo theory = survival of fittest = weaker genes - x survive & x reproduce = humans & animals beh change over time = +re stronger & adaptive genes to survive & reproduce
- Wihelm Wundt
- Who? = Father of experimental psy = opened 1st psych lab = psy appears to be discipline in own right = 1st to be called psychologist = believed all aspects of mind & nature scientifically study
- Introspection: process gain knowledge about mental & emotional state = separate & put into factors = scientific?
- Griffiths: fruit machine gamblers & stated what they were thinking whilst gambling
- Csilkzentinilyi & Hunter : used to study happiness = +ve psych = area of work
- Controlled Methods: under strict conditions = same stimulus every time = standardized instructions = procedures replicated
- marked separation between modern scientific psy from philosophical roots
- Watson & early beh
- critical about introspection = varies person - person = difficult to est. general principles = private mental process = true scientific psy = study event observe & measure
- Rene Descartes (1596-1650)
- Timeline
- 17th Cent. psy was experimental philosophy
- 1879: Wundt & psy in own right
- 1900s: Freud "Interpretation of Dreams" & emphasized influ of unconscious mind on beh& phys problems cos of conflicts in the mind & developed person centered therapy
- 1913: Skinner & Watson est beh approach & Psycho & beh approaches dominant.
- 1950s: Rogers & Maslow developed humanistic approach = emphasizes importance of self determination of free will= rejects beh & psycho = beh not determined by person
- 1960's: cog rev w/ digital age/ comps = how human mind works = study mental process & SLT Bandura = bridge between cog & trad beh = draws attention to cog factors in learning
- 1980s: bio approach = dominant scientific perspective = advances in tech = +re understanding of brain & bio processes
- Eve 21st Cent: cog neuroscience emerges = built on early comp models = investigates how bio structures influ mental state= brought cog & bio approaches together
- 1980s: bio approach = dominant scientific perspective = advances in tech = +re understanding of brain & bio processes
- 1960's: cog rev w/ digital age/ comps = how human mind works = study mental process & SLT Bandura = bridge between cog & trad beh = draws attention to cog factors in learning

- 17th Cent. psy was experimental philosophy
- Emergence of Scientific approach
- beh focus on beh = control lab experiment = observe = experimental methods for research = broadened & study of mental process = legit = cog researchers make inferences based of lab results
- bio approach take advantage of tech & investigate physiological processes as they happen = fMRI & EEG
- The PPl
