1 PSYCHOLOGY THE BEGINNING

2 ROOTS OF PYSCHOLOGY IT BEGAN WITH THE ANCIENT GREEKS: HIPPOCRATES THEORIZED THAT OUR MIND & SOUL RESTED IN THE BRAIN BUT WAS NOT COMPOSED OF PHYSICAL SUBSTANCE.. WHAT THE HECK DOES THIS MEAN? DUALISM IS WHAT THIS CAME TO BE KNOWN AS…..

3 PLATO PLATO ALSO BELIEVED IN DUALISM, BUT HIS BELIEF WAS THAT WE ARE BORN WITH OUR TRAITS…..i.e. INNATE

4 ARISTOTLE PLATO’S STUDENT, ARISTOTLE BELIEVED THAT THE MIND/SOUL RESULTS FROM OUR ANATOMICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL EXPERIENCES….i.e. MONISM IN OTHER WORDS, WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE KNOW ARE AS A RESULT OF OUR EXPERIENCES ALONG LIFE.

HE MORE BELIEVED THAT WE CONTROL (TO A CERTAIN EXTENT) HOW WE PROCESS SENSATIONS AND ACTIONS. FUNCTIONALISTS SOUGHT TO EXAMINE HOW WE RESPOND PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND MENTALLY TO SITUATIONS AND OUR ENVIRONMENT. THIS WAS AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN BEHAVIOR…
