Natural State or Ideal Type
The inherent essence or perfect form underlying the diversity among individual organisms, as per Aristotle's concept.
Functionalism
The psychology focusing on mental operations and the utility of consciousness in adapting to the environment, contrasting with structuralism.
Hereditary Genius
Galton's study on the inheritance of exceptional abilities and the foundation of the Science of Eugenics.
Stream of Consciousness
William James's idea that consciousness is a continuous flow, resisting reduction to elements.
Material Self
The aspect of self including physical body and possessions, as per James's theory of self.
Affordance
The potential actions an object or environment allows an organism to perform, a concept from ecological psychology.
Ideomotor Theory
The theory suggesting that thinking about an action increases its likelihood of execution, influencing the selection of affordances.
Statistical Noise
Random variations in data analogous to interfering forces, hindering individuals from reaching their Natural State.
Law of Errors
Describes the statistical distribution of measurement errors, typically following a normal distribution pattern.
Frequency Plot
Represents the distribution of data points, showing the occurrence frequency of each value within a dataset.
True Value
Conceptually aligns with the mean or expected value in statistics, representing the central tendency.
Variability
Represents interfering forces or deviations from the mean, reflecting the spread of data points.
Gauss’ Frequency Plot
Measures the distribution of errors or deviations from the true value, often resulting in a normal distribution.
Accidental Cause
Random, unpredictable influences on measurements according to Quetelet's classification.
Constant Cause
Systematic, predictable factors affecting measurements as per Quetelet's categorization.
Variable Cause
Factors causing variation but following a regular pattern, defined by Quetelet.
Regression to the Mean
The tendency for extreme values to move closer to the average upon repeated measurements, related to Quetelet's causes and true score.
Correlation Coefficient
A statistical measure indicating the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables, ranging from -1 to 1.
Standardized Test
Administered and scored consistently across all test-takers, ensuring uniformity.
Normed Test
A test with established norms or average scores based on a representative sample, facilitating comparison.
Valid Test
Accurately measures what it claims to measure, ensuring the test's appropriateness.
Group Factor
Specific ability or trait measured by a subset of items within an intelligence test, indicating a common underlying factor.
Factor Analysis
Method used to measure group factors by identifying clusters of related items within a test, aiding in understanding underlying abilities.
Phenomenology
Focuses on direct experience of phenomena, emphasizing subjective perception and consciousness in psychology.
Gestalt Rules
Principles like similarity, proximity, closure, and continuity that explain how the mind organizes sensory input for object recognition.
