Differentiate and compare schools of thought used in Psychology.
Identify the different theoretical fields of psychology.
Cognitive Psychology: Studies mental processes.
Behaviorism: Focuses on observable behavior.
Humanistic Psychology: Focuses on individual free will.
Psychoanalysis: Studies the unconscious mind.
Gestalt Psychology: Studies the mind and behavior as a whole.
Focus: Reducing mental processes to their most basic elements.
Techniques: Uses introspection to analyze the inner processes of the human mind.
Founded by Wilhelm Wundt, specialized in experimental self-observation.
Reaction to Structuralism, influenced by William James.
Focus: Purpose of consciousness and behaviors; how these processes help individuals adapt to environments.
Advocates included John Dewey, James Rowland Angell, Harvey Carr.
Theory: All behaviors are acquired through conditioning and interactions with the environment.
Focus: Observable behaviors; rejects studying internal mental states.
Key figures: John B. Watson, B. F. Skinner.
Focus: How people perceive objects as unified wholes.
Founded in Germany: Key figures include Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Köhler, Kurt Koffka.
Philosophy: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (holism).
Founded by Sigmund Freud, focused on unconscious influences on behavior.
Three elements of personality: id (primal urges), ego (reality mediator), superego (morality).
Important concepts: Conscious vs. unconscious, psychosexual development, and the methods of dream analysis.
Response to psychoanalysis and behaviorism, emphasizes personal growth.
Influenced by Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers.
Focus: Self-actualization, individual free will, and achieving personal potential through positive experiences.
Focus: Mental processes such as perception, memory, and learning.
Emerged in the 1950s as a challenge to behaviorism.
Related fields: Neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics. Important theories: Stages of cognitive development (Jean Piaget), sociocultural theory (Lev Vygotsky).
Also known as biopsychology or behavioral neuroscience.
Focus: Biological factors such as genetics, brain structure, and neurotransmitters affecting mental processes and behavior.
Key figures in Psychology's history from Plato and Aristotle to modern thinkers like B.F. Skinner and Jean Piaget.
Timeline of significant contributors and their contributions from the 5th century BCE to the 21st century.
