  1. TWO BIG IDEAS • 1. DUALISM: Pythagoras, Plato, Augustine, psyche, nefesh, and Aristotle. Descartes (1596-1650) introduces “modern” dualism setting the stage for the development of both physiology and psychology as well as the role of “mechanism.” But, any such concept is incompatible with a natural science of behavior. 2. ASSOCIATIONISM: Aristotle again (1) contiguity, (2) similarity, (3) contrast. Some form of association theory (or denial of it) as a proposed mechanism is the basis of modern learning and memory theory.

  2. Body as machine, reflexes and involuntary behaviors: The development of experimental neurophysiology and the work of Russian reflexologists—Sechnov, Pavlov, Bekhterev. Soul as mind: voluntary behavior and the British empiricists—introspection and the role of association. The Descartian Agenda
