9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


• 9i


Psychology is the study of mental processes and behaviour.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


• 9i


The goals of psychology are to describe, explain, predict, and control behaviour and ment
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


al 9i


processes. Psychologists vary in the degree to which they focus on some of these goals
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


more than others. 9i 9i 9i


• 9i


The study of psychology must occur at multiple levels, including the level of the brain (th
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


e 9i


biological activity associated with mental processes and behaviour), the level of the perso
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


n 9i


(the content of mental processes), and the level of the group (social influences on
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


behaviour). 9i

9i
9i


2. Describe the influences of early myths and ancient Greek philosophies on psychology.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


• 9i


Early explanations of human behaviour were rooted in superstition and magic.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


• 9i


Later, philosophers, beginning with the ancient Greeks, tried to develop more objective
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


theories of human consciousness and reality.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


• 9i


The work of such early philosophers as Hippocrates, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


contributed to the later formation of psychology as a natural science.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i

9i
9i


3. Name important early psychologists and describe their major theories and research
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


methods. 9i


• 9i


The development of psychology has been strongly influenced by shifts in the social
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


environment and development of new technology. 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


• 9i


The first psychology laboratory was founded in Leipzig, Germany, by physiologist Wilhel
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


m 9i


Wundt. Wundt was interested in human consciousness and will, which he studied throug
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


h 9i


small, structured activities that could be easily watched and replicated.

Structuralism, a school of thought developed by one of Wundt’s students, relied upon the
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


use of introspection, the careful observation of human perception. The goal of the
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


structuralists was to find the smallest building blocks of consciousness.

William James established the first psychology laboratory in the United States at Harvard.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i

9i


He helped shift the field’s focus to the functions of mental events and behaviours, forming

a
9i 9i


school of thought known as functionalism.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


• 9i


Gestalt psychologists studied human tendencies to perceive pattern rather than dividing
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


consciousness into its smallest parts. They focused on putting together the “parts,” or
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


individual sensations, to create a “whole” or perception that went beyond the sum of the

parts. 9i

9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


cognitive, and neuroscience approaches to psychology.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i

Cognitive psychologists reignited interest in the study of mental processes, comparing the

workings of the mind to the workings of computers.

Biological science, including interest in the workings of the brain and in our genetic

inheritance, was the major influence on neuroscience approaches.

The theoretical and cultural diversity of the field of psychology has increased dramaticall

There are three key branches of psychology: academic, applied, and clinical/counselling.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


• 9i


Across the three branches and many specialty areas in psychology, psychologists are
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


united by their shared values. Psychologists generally agree that psychology is theory-

driven, empirical, multi-level, and contextual.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i

Currently, psychology appears to be developing as a science in response to a growing
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i


diversity throughout the field, advances in technology (such as brain scanning), and the
