Document Summary
Cartesian dualism- animal body & human mind. Structuralism- different parts of brain do different things. Physiology of the mind- if brain has sub parts, mind must also. Cognitivism- think about what we know; action, reaction, perception. Gestalt- mental groupings; whole does not equal sum of the parts. Proximity, similarity, symmetry, continuity, closure, common fate. Behaviorism - behaviors can described without referring to internal states like thought & emotion. Watson 1913- mental states are not replicable & science must be replicable. Based upon observable behaviors (data ---> describe behavior w. #"s) Contrast effect- rats run slower after reinforcement amount is decreased (cognitivism?) Belongingness- animals must be able to pair stimuli. Classical conditioning- pairing 2 stimuli changes the response of one of those stimuli. Unconditioned stimulus elicits unconditioned response, a conditioned stimulus can be paired with the ucs to produce a cr. Naturally increases chances of survival because you can detect contingencices & Correlations (where is food & how to avoid danger)
