🗑
SPENCER-BAIN PRINCIPLE   show
🗑
show Spencer’s application of Darwin’s notion of survival of the fittest to society.  
🗑
EUGENICS   show
🗑
show General Intelligence. “g” was determined almost exclusively by inheritance.  
🗑
FUNCTIONALISM   show
🗑
show Any belief, thought, or behavior must be judged by its consequences (or usefulness). If an idea works, it is valid. The ultimate criterion for judging an idea should be the idea’s usefulness.  
🗑
show James’ metaphor suggesting that the contents of human consciousness are better thought of as a stream than as a collection of discrete elements or ideas.

🗑

🗑
RECAPITULATION THEORY   show
🗑
STORM AND STRESS   show
🗑
show attributing human thought processes (and emotions) to lower animals.  
🗑
show Thorndike’s early theory that associations are strengthened by repetition and dissipated by disuse. Contained two parts—law of use and law of disuse.  
🗑
show the more often an association was practiced, the stronger it became (restatement of Aristotle’s law of frequency) (we learn by doing)  
🗑
LAW OF DISUSE   show
🗑
show seeks to understand women’s place in psychology as a product of socially constructed notions of gender, psych, and history. The notion that knowledge is socially constructed & is inevitably influenced by social context.  
🗑
Variability Hypothesis   show
🗑
Doctrine of Spheres   show
🗑
Russian Objective Psychology   show
🗑
show the neurotic behavior that Pavlov created in some of his laboratory animals by bringing excitatory and inhibitory tendencies into conflict  
🗑
show the conditioned stimuli that signal biologically significant events. The objects or events that become signals (CSs) for the occurrence of biologically significant events (such as when a tone signals the eventuality of food).  
🗑
Second signal system   show
🗑
Excitation   show
🗑
show According to Pavlov and Sechenov, through experience, organisms can learn to inhibit (prevent) reflexive behavior.  
🗑
show INNATE aspect of behavior that is unlearned, complex, & normally adaptive. Instincts are inherited, not learned through experience  
🗑
show if a conditioned stimulus is continually presented to an organism in the absence of an unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned response will gradually diminish and finally disappear.  
🗑
Darwin   show
🗑
show 1. we can have more babies than can survive 2.struggle for survival Vast indv differences in offspring-some are more conductive to survival depending on envior. "survival of the fittest"  
🗑
show looked at different birds on different islands and found the beaks were shaped to meet their environment and for getting food-EX: cactus finches--long bills to stick in cactus' for food  
🗑
show views of evolution-applied to human societies. says humans have a complex nervous system & therefore we can make associations, more intelligent then other species. supports progress towards perfection & first to introduce the word intelligence into psych  
🗑
Laissey-fair   show
🗑
Spencer's contributions   show
🗑
show go to other countries and establish colonies, white people are better than africans  
🗑
show brit emp-wanted to test senses or sensory acuity, diameter, rate of movement, 2-pt threshold. germ rat-wanted to test logic, reasoning, abstract thinking, and problem solving  
🗑
Francis Galton   show
🗑
Galtons measurements to prove int. is due to genetics   show
🗑
2 ways to increase general intelligence   show
🗑
Galton's contributions   show
🗑
show tests similar to Galton, if sensory acuity does measure int then.. 1. performance on ten tests should be highly correlated 2.thought that his tests should correlate w/academic success in college. -now concludes that sensory acuity does not relate to I  
🗑
show his conclusions about INT. are IMPT for three reasons. 1.unitary "G" factor 2.INT is inherited 3.his views shaped U.S. testing movement  
🗑
show Test people to be officers and commanders in WW1, timed tasks on tests the faster you are the smarter you are  
🗑
show 1.science 2.practicality 3.emphasis on individual 4.evolutionary theory  
🗑

🗑
show men are more eminent, scientific truth women had smaller brains, reproductive organs would deteriorate if they used their brain too much.  
🗑
show women cant have a baby if they think too much, their place in society is scholarly work. Women have innate moral superiority, variability hypothesis, presumed scientific basis of many ideas
