Document Summary
Cant observe someone else and expect they are doing the same things as we are. We have complex mental lives we create good rationales (explanations for our behaviour) We do things that we aren"t entirely aware of (visual fields for split brain people) Anthropomorphism = observe someone or something else, the reason they are doing is the same reason as you. Even though the animal you observe is doing for a specific reason, doesn"t mean other animal will do the same. Insects stay under the rock because they have : 1) negative photo taxis = move/grow away from sun. Alternative insects stay out of light because kinesis = active when there"s light, passive when it"s dark. Behaviourism = study behaviour and conditions that produce the behaviour: don"t assume internal working (physiology) nervous system that is responsible for all behaviour. Interested of what behaviour is build in or what is learned.
