SCHOOLS OF PSYCHOLOGY
![Page 3: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
STRUCTURALISM
![Page 4: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
STRUCTURALISM
○ Proponents: Wilhelm Wundt and Edward Titchener
○ Considered to be the first “school” of psychology
○ sought to analyze the adult mind (the sum total of experience from birth to the present) in terms of the simplest definable components and then to find how these components fit together to form more complex experiences as well as how they correlated to physical events
![Page 5: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
TITCHENER…
○ the founder of structuralism
○ attempted to classify the structures of the mind
○ It is true, nevertheless, that observation is the single and proprietary method of science, and that experiment, regarded as scientific method, is nothing else than observation safeguarded and assisted. [Systematic Psychology]
![Page 6: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
TITCHENER…
○ that the goal of psychology was to study mind and consciousness
○ defined consciousness as the sum total of mental experience at any given moment, and the mind as the accumulated experience of a lifetime
○ Introspection

ELEMENTS OF THE MIND
○ Sensations(elements of perception)
○ Images(elements of ideas)
○ Affections (elements of emotions)
![Page 8: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
BEHAVIORISM
![Page 9: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
BEHAVIORISM
○ Proponents: John Watson and B.F. Skinner
○ an approach to psychology that combines elements of philosophy, methodology, and theory
○ “Psychology should concern itself with the observable behavior of people and animals, not with unobservable events that take place in their minds”
![Page 10: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
IN EDUCATION…
○ a change in external behavior achieved through a large amount of repetition of desired actions, the reward of good habits and the discouragement of bad habits
○ the "teacher" is the dominant person in the classroom
○ the “learner” does not have any opportunity for evaluation or reflection within the learning process
![Page 11: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
○ Ivan Pavlov
○ Is known for his work in classical conditioning or stimulus substitution
○ Classical conditioning differs from operant or instrumental conditioning, in which a behavior is strengthened or weakened, depending on its consequences

![Page 12: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CONNECTIONISM THEORY
○ Edward L. Thorndike
○ Is known for the original S-R framework of behavioral psychology
○ Learning is the result of association forming between stimuli and responses. Such associations or habits become strengthened or weakened by the nature and frequency of the S-R pairings.
![Page 13: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
THREE PRIMARY LAWS
○ Law of Effect ● S-R bond is strengthened when consequence is positive
and weakened when consequence is negative
○ Law of Exercise● The more an S-R bond is practiced, the stronger it will
become
○ Law of Readiness ● The more readiness the learner has to respond to the
stimulus, the stronger will be the bond between them. 13

JOHN WATSON
○ Humans are born with a few reflexes and the emotional reactions of love and rage. All other behavior is learned through stimulus-response associations through conditioning.

Operant Conditioning
○ B.F. Skinner
○ with themodification of "voluntary behaviour" or operant behaviour
○ Operant behavior operates on the environment and is maintained by its consequences
○ Reinforcement is the key element

FUNCTIONALISM
![Page 17: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
FUNCTIONALISM (FUNCTIONAL PSYCHOLOGY)
○ Proponents: Dewey, Mead, Carr and Angeli
○ Founder: William James
○ a general psychological philosophy that considers mental life and behavior in terms of active adaptation to the person's environment
![Page 18: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
FUNCTIONALISM
○ a theory of the mind in contemporary philosophy, developed largely as an alternative to both the identity theory of mind and behaviourism
○ Its core idea is that mental states (beliefs, desires, being in pain, etc.) are constituted solely by their functional role – that is, they are causal relations to other mental states, sensory inputs, and behavioral outputs
![Page 19: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
TYPES OF FUNCTIONALISM
○ Hilary Putnam
○ inspired by the analogies noted between the mind and the theoretical "machines" or computers capable of computing any given algorithm
○ Jerry Fodor and Zenon Pylyshyn
○ based on the rejection of behaviouristtheories in psychology and their replacement with empirical cognitive models of the mind
Machine-State Functionalism
Psychofunctionalism
![Page 20: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TYPES OF FUNCTIONALISM
○ David Lewis
○ is concerned with the meanings of theoretical terms in general
○ Daniel Dennett
○ postulate the existence of an entire hierarchical series of mind levels (analogous to homunculi) which became less and less sophisticated in terms of functional organization and physical composition all the way down to the level
Analytic FunctionalismHomuncular Functionalism

GESTALT APPROACH
![Page 22: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY
○ Proponents: Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler and Kurt Koffka
○ Means “form” or “configuration”
○ the whole is other than the sum of its parts
○ Learners are active
○ Perception
![Page 23: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
GESTALT LAWS○ Law of Closure
individuals perceive objects as being whole when they are not complete
○ Law of Similarityelements within an assortment of objects are
perceptually grouped together if they are similar to each other
○ Law of Proximitywhen an individual perceives an assortment
of objects they perceive objects that are close to each other as forming a group
![Page 24: Schools of Psychology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55786e93d8b42a14628b4816/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
○ Law of Good Continuation● Individuals have the tendency to continue
contours whenever the elements of the pattern establish and implied direction
○ Law of Good Pragnanz● The stimulus will be organized into as good
a figure as possible
○ Law of Figure/ Ground● individuals tend to pay attention and
perceive things in the foreground first.

INSIGHT LEARNING
○ Developed by Wolfgang Kohler
○ the abrupt realization of a problem's solution
○ The important aspect of learning was not reinforcement, but the coordination of thinking to create new organizations.
