a procedure used by early psychologists in which trained
analytic introspection participants described their experiences and thought processes
in response to stimuli. Observing oneself
analytic introspection
Wilhelm Wundt
observing oneself
John McCarthy artificial intelligence
behaviorism
John Watson
scary noises-> fear for all furry objects
, the science of behavior that focuses on observable behavior
behaviorism only, action and reaction are all that matter. Kid with the mouse
and projected onto all furry things
classical conditioning
bell dog
Ivan Pavlov/ John Watson
cognitive paradigm
cognitive revolution
The general view that people can best be understood by
cognitive paradigm
studying how they perceive and structure their experiences.
A shift in psychology, beginning in the 1950s, from the behaviorist
approach to an approach in which the main thrust was to explain
cognitive revolution behavior in terms of the mind. One of the outcomes of the
cognitive revolution was the introduction of the information-
processing approach to studying the mind.
filter model of attention
Donald Broadbent
how we take in info
model of attention that proposes a filter that lets attended stimuli
filter model of attention through and blocks some or all of the unattended stimuli.
Sensored before put into memory
operant conditioning
BF Skinner
box and mouse/bird
model of memory
Atkinson and Shriffin
either forgotten or remembered
sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory
Model of memory
memory holds incoming information for a fraction of a second
Savings curve
Eddinghaus
takes less time when relearning list of syllables
psychosocial development emotions, personality, social relationships
piaget stages of cognitive development
0-2 sensorimotor-> senses and actions
2-6 preoperational -> words and images to represent
stages of cognitive
7-11 concrete operational -> concrete events and analogies,
development
perform arithmetic operations
12+ formal operational -> abstract reasoning
chemical processes
neurons activated
perception
brain structures activated
groups of brain structures activated
chemical processes
neurons activated
memory
brain storage
storage activated
propagated electrical potential responsible for transmitting
action potential neural information and for communication between neurons.
Action potentials typically travel down a neuron's axon
Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe,
brocas area usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements
involved in speech.
