Document Summary
Think: structuralism edward titchener = set (great acronym!) Approach in which the mind is broken into the smallest elements of mental experience. Led to gestalt psychology: approach to psychology seeing experience as different than sum of its elements. Saw behavior as purposeful since it led to survival. Think: james yao works out as he feels it will help him survive (run away from tigers) Value of an activity depends on consequences. Watson: anyone can be anything, blank slate approach. Thorndike: law of effect behaviors followed by pleasant or helpful outcomes more likely to occur in the future than ones followed by unpleasant outcomes. B. f. skinner: effects of reward and punishment in future behavior. Humans are inherently good and motivated to learn and improve. Maslow: hierarchy of human needs identifies how people learn and improve. Carl rogers: client-centred therapy emphasis on empathy for client (not called patient)
