Do Now! • How was your weekend? • Write one of your psychologists down (the one you were assigned last Weds) and write a key fact about your psychologist (without referring to your notes) • Get Out Parent Letter 8/31/2015 • Goal(s): • Review Famous People in Psychology • Work on Historical Perspectives of Psychology • Agenda: • Do Now • That’s me • Summer Assignment Part 2 Group Presentation • Roots of Psychology Notes • Perspectives Poster Work • Exit Slip
Summer Assignment Group Work Presentation • With your assigned group, come up a creative way to share out your assigned psychologists that will help your classmates remember who they are and why they are famous. • e.g. drawings, rhymes, skits, song, rap, poem, etc.
Roots of Psychology • Dualism: the philosophy that the mind and the body are two differentthings that interact. • e.g. Physiologist Hippocrates thought the mind or soul resided in the brain, but was not composed of physical substance. • e.g. Philosopher Plato(~ 350 BC) also believed in dualism, and used self-examination of inner ideas and experiences to conclude that who we are and what we know are innate (inborn).
Roots of Psychology • Monoism: the mind and body are body are different aspects of the same thing (cannot be separated) • e.g. The philosopher Aristotle believed that the mind/soul results from our anatomy and physiological processes, that reality is best studied by observation, and that who we are and what we know are acquired from experience. • Ideas result from EXPERIENCE
Descartes (1596-1650) • French philosopher, René Descartes studied the mind-body problem that started with the monism-dualism debate of the ancient Greeks. • He believed in dualism and hypothesized that the mind and body communicated through nerves • Reasoned some ideas were innate and others were from experience • Came up with the saying “I think, therefore I am.” Locke (1632-1704) • British philosopher, John Locke agreed with Aristotle • Presented the idea of the mind as a tabula rasa or a blank state at birth • Knowledge comes from observation and what we know comes from experience
Aristotle: All knowledge comes through the senses. Plato: Ideas such as “the good” and “beauty” are inborn. Descartes: Some ideas are innate. vs. Nature Nurture John Locke: The mind is a blank slate (blank chalkboard or screen) “written on” by experience. Charles Darwin: Some traits, behaviors, and instincts are part of the nature of the species.
We share a common origin that gives us an inborn human nature in common. We have differences that are shaped by our environment + Nature Nurture
From Speculation to Science Aristotle (4th century BCE) asked questions to understand the relationship between body and psyche. His way of answering those questions was to observe… and make guesses. Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) added two key elements to help make psychology a science: • carefully measured observations • experiments
Wilhelm Wundt • Set up the first psychology lab • Considered father of psychology • Used introspection • Introspection: examination of one own’s conscious thoughts and feelings • Wundt had subjects report the contents of their own mind as objectively as possible, usually in relation to stimuli, such as light, sound or odors
Wilhelm Wundt’s 1879 experimentmeasured the time it took for people to: Push a button when a ball dropped (based on when they heard the ball hit a platform): 1/10th of a second. Push a button when consciously aware of hearing the ball hit the platform: 2/10ths of a second. Why were the times different?
G. Stanley Hall • Studied a short time with Wundt in Germany • Set up a psychology lab at Johns Hopkins University employing introspection • Helped found the American Psychological Association, and became its first president.
Structuralism • Edward Titchenerbrought introspection into his lab at Cornell University • relied on “self-report” data. He had people engage in introspection, reporting on sensationsand other elements of experience, in reaction to stimuli such as the smell or feel of a flower. • Titchener tried to use these introspective reports to build a view of the mind’s structure. He called this view structuralism. • Margaret Floy Washburn was Titchener’s first graduate student and the first woman to complete her Ph. D. in psychology. • Second female president for APA and wrote the Animal Mind
Functionalism • William James studied human thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and asked: • what function might they serve? how might they have helped our ancestors survive? • Coined “stream of consciousness” • He wrote Principles of Psychology. • Mary Whiton Calkins became a memory researcher and the first female president of the APA. • She studied with William James but was denied a Harvard PhD. Why?
Structuralism vs Functionalism • Structuralists were concerned with what (structures) the mind was made up of; Functionalists examined the evolved purposes (functions) of the elements of consciousness.
Other Famous Firsts • In 1920, Francis C. Sumner became the first African-American to receive a Ph. D. in Psychology. • In 1933, Inez Beverly Prosser became the first African-American woman to receive a Ph. D. in Psychology. • Prosser argued in her dissertation that "racial injustices and feelings of isolation have damaging effects on the psyche of Black children." • 1953 – Carlos Albizu Miranda became one of the first Latinos to earn a Ph. D. in Psychology in the United States. • 1962 - Martha Bernal: First Latina to earn a PhD in psychology, in clinical psychology from Indiana University Bloomington.
Biology Plus Environment.. are part of psychology’s three “biopsychosocial” levels of analysis. The outer level, Environment: socialInfluences, culture, education, relationships The deep level, Biology: genes, brain, neuro-transmitters, survival, reflexes, sensation In the middle, Psychology: thoughts, emotions, moods, choices, behaviors, traits, motivations, knowledge, perceptions
Gallery Walk • You are creating a poster summarizing your given perspective • ALL group members must be able to explain your poster! • Perspectives: Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic; Behaviorist; Humanist; Cognitive; Biological/Neurological; Evolutionary; Socio-cultural Poster • Perspective (title) • Definition (try to make it simple and in your own words) • Theorists (and know why they’re famous) • Application – How would they explain intelligence? • Mnemonic – memory trick (rhyme, acronym, etc.) • Picture
There are many perspectives for describing psychological phenomena: From different angles, you ask different questions: How reliable is memory? How can we improve our thinking? Could our behavior, skills, and attitudes be “downloads” from our culture? Could our behavior, skills, and attitudes be genetically programmed instincts? What role do our bodies and brains play in emotions? How is pain inhibited? Can we trust our senses? Do inner childhood conflicts still plague me and affect my behavior? How are our problematic behaviors reinforced? How do our fears become conditioned? What can we do to change these fears and behaviors? Why are humans prone to panic, anger, and making irrational judgments?

Five Finger Perspectives Pinky and the Brain Theme Song
Cognitive vs Biological vs Evolutionary • Biological/Neuroscience – how genes affect behavior (genetic predisposition) BRAIN • Cognitive – mental functions: how we process information (perception, memory, language) • like a computer: store data-input/output • Evolutionary – mind is equipped with instincts (adaptable survival behavior)
“Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a problem in the orbital cortex.” “Compulsions start as habits and are rewarded by the anxiety relief they bring.” Let’s play: “What’s my perspective?” “No, it’s a sign of unresolved childhood issues.” “OCD comes from our natural instinct to control our environment.” “OCD is a response to lack of self-worth” (inadequacy) “OCD thinking and behavior is a reaction to our fast-paced, out-of-control lifestyles.” “No, OCD is a matter of mental habits and errors that can be corrected.”
Birth • Scientific psychology developed in universities with research laboratories where basic research was conducted, and where experimental psychologists continue to add knowledge to the field. • After WWII, many opportunities for applied psychologists developed outside of these institutions. • Job opportunities grew, and the field became more fragmented and specialized. Will the research be used to help us understand a real world problem and solve it, or will the research further our general information?

Psychology in context with other professions Psychiatrists are physicians, M.D.s or D.O.s. They can prescribe medication. Specializes in diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. Psychologists, professionals in social work, counseling, and marriage and family therapy may be trained to do psychotherapy.
Some psychologists Careers • Clinical psychologists: evaluate and treat mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. • Counseling psychologists: help people adapt to change to make changes in their lifestyle.. • Developmental psychologists: study psychological development throughout the lifespan. • Educational psychologists: focus on how effective teaching and learning take place.
First Application of Psychology:Improving your test performance testing yourself boosts retention of material. • The retrieval practice effect/testing effect Scientific studies show us that: actively processing material helps master it. • Put it in your own words, make connections spaced rehearsal, interspaced with other subjects, is more efficient than cramming. • Spread studying over multiple days people tend to overestimate their mastery. • If the concept looks familiar… not good enough
Applying this knowledge: Use SQ3R to master a textbook Survey • Scan/Skim what you are about to read, especially chapter outlines and section heads. Question • Ask questions that the text might answer; write guesses. Read • Look for the answer to your questions, reading a manageable amount at a time. Rehearsal • Recall what you’ve read in your own words. Test yourself with quizzes. Review • Look over text and notes and quickly review the main ideas of the whole chapter.
