Psychological History is a Pendulum

A New Science is Born Separated from philosophy in 19th century Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) Leipzig, Germany applied laboratory techniques to study of the mind Structuralism -Mind combines objective sensation & subjective emotion

Edward Titchener (1867-1927) William James (1842-1910) The Battle Begins Edward Titchener (1867-1927) Wundt’s student, professor at Cornell University structuralism -Wrote first Psychology Textbook William James (1842-1910) started psychology at Harvard in 1870s functionalism –investigate purpose of consciousness led to behaviorism Keywords: William James, functionalism Structuralism= modern day cognition, id atoms of the mind, introspective study of consciousness Functionalism- modern day behaviorism How do structures function in our lives? Graphic: picture of James pg. 11 of Gray

Behaviorism Debuts Behaviorism- asserts that psychology should only study behavior that is observable (scientific) Emphasis on environment Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) John Watson( 1878-1958)

While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things. Ivan Pavlov

Freud & Unconscious Psychoanalytic Theory= emphasis on the unconscious as a behavior determinant - Originally controversial - Eros & Thanatos

Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.

Behaviorism Flourishes B.F. Skinner (1904-1990) American psychologist at Harvard studied learning and effect of reinforcement behaviorism Free Will is an illusion Prominence in 1950’s

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. B. F. Skinner

The Humanists Revolt Humanism- Human beings have freedom and endless growth potential Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change Carl Rogers

Cognition and Physiology Resurface In the 1960’s and 70’s emphasis on mental processes ( consciousness) and biological basis of behavior reemerged. PET SCAN MRI

Evolutionary Psych Develops In the 1980’s and 90’s Darwin's ideas resurfaced
