History of Psychology

Roots of Psychology: Psychology: The scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Let’s break down the definition Behavior – Anything that you do that can be observed. Mental Processes – Internal experiences such as: thoughts, feelings, perceptions and... Systematic Study: Systematic collection and examination of data (empirical evidence) to support or disprove hypotheses (predictions)..

History of Psychology: People have been studying human behavior for thousands of years. (Examples: Romans, Egyptians, Indians) This was good, but was not done in an organized manner. Psychology as a science has a very short history. Some scientists (like Mr. Lark) still call psychology a “soft” science.

Key Players in the History of Psychology: Roots of psychology can be traced back 2000 years ago to the early philosophers, biologists, and physiologists of ancient Greece. Hippocrates – Greek Physiologist that thought the mind or soul resided in the brain. He believed that it was not composed of a physical substance. This is called mind-body- dualism – seeing mind and body as two different things that interact.

Key Players in the History of Psychology: Plato (350 B.C.) – Greek philosopher that believed that who we are and what we know are innate (inborn). Aristotle – Plato’s student believed that who we are and what we know are acquired from experience.

Key Players in the History of Psychology: About 2000 yrs. later John Locke and Rene Descartes had a similar argument. John Locke – Believed that knowledge comes from observation, and what we know comes from experience. He coined the term “tabula rasa” – blank slate. “The mind is like a blank slate in which the environment writes upon.” Rene Descartes – Believed that what we know is innate. Focused much of his research on how the nervous system responds “I think therefore I am.”

Nature vs. Nurture Controversy: The debate about the extent to which our behavior is inborn or learned through experience is called the nature vs. nurture controversy. Nature: Certain elementary ideas are innate to the human mind; not gained through experience Men are born, not made

Nature vs. Nurture (cont.) Nurture: Anything that we know, we have learned through experience. Our mind is like a blank slate (tabula rasa; Locke) that the environment writes upon Men are made, not born Where do the Spartans fall into this nature vs. nurture controversy?
