Not exactly. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and the concept of natural selection greatly influenced psychology, particularly in shaping the evolutionary perspective, but Darwin himself was not a psychologist and did not directly create this viewpoint.
The evolutionary perspective in psychology applies Darwin’s principles of evolution to understand how mental and behavioral processes have adapted for survival and reproduction. For example, it explores traits like fear, aggression, and mate selection as products of natural selection.
Darwin's work in biology inspired psychologists like William James (functionalism) and later proponents of evolutionary psychology, such as David Buss and Leda Cosmides, to integrate these ideas into the study of human behavior. So while Darwin laid the foundation, the evolutionary perspective was developed by others building on his groundbreaking theories.

Signals from rods and cones go to bipolar cells, then ganglion cells.
Ganglion cells' axons form the optic nerve, sending signals to the brain.
The occipital lobe processes the image and flips it right-side up.
Flashcard 2: Hearing Steps
Q: What are the steps in the hearing process?
A:
Sound enters the ear canal and strikes the eardrum (vibrates).
Vibrations move to the middle ear bones (hammer, anvil, stirrup), amplifying the sound.

A: An example of priming is seeing the word "yellow," which makes it easier to later recognize the word "banana."
Flashcard 3: Levels of Processing
Q: What are levels of processing?
A: Levels of processing theory suggests that memory retention depends on the depth of processing:
Shallow processing (e.g., focusing on physical features of a word) leads to weaker memory.
Deep processing (e.g., focusing on the meaning of a word) leads to stronger, more lasting memory.
Flashcard 4: Example of Levels of Processing
Q: What is an example of levels of processing?
A: An example of levels of processing is when you remember a word better if you focus on its meaning (deep processing) versus just its physical appearance (shallow processing).
