Document Summary
Cannot say what object is instead describe it very simple (sweet, creamy) Cannot say it was good, that you liked it- since not objective. Want no prior experience: building blocks of experience/ periodic table. Use more recordings, and measuring: if you manipulate this- what happens, look at autopsy- look at anatomy. Clicker: why do children prefer m&m over smarty"s : functionalism, since asking why, look for the purpose of the experiment. Functionalism: what is the purpose of consciousness- why do you have it, what does it do for you. Freud: unconscious mind, what drives behaviour that they are not aware of. Before people where not interested in studying unconscious mind: talk therapy: help people with problems- by talking to them, cant just control ourselves consciously. Behaviourism: study objective observable features, look at what they are doing- not how they are feeling, stimulus response. If this then what: if something is given to you- does behaviour increase or decrease.
