- The test bank emphasizes conceptual knowledge and applications to real-world situations.
- The test bank includes easy, moderate, and difficult questions to help with exam creation.
Historical Influences on Cognitive Psychology
- Early memory researchers, like Ebbinghaus and Calkins, emphasized the importance of internal knowledge storage in cognitive processing.
- Behaviorism, particularly popular in the US in the early 20th century, focused on observable behaviors and responses, often ignoring internal mental processes.
- John B. Watson, a prominent behaviorist, emphasized observable behaviors and studying nonhuman animals.
- Behaviorists emphasized learning and quantifying how environmental changes affect behavior, as demonstrated by research on rats navigating mazes.
- Frederic Bartlett, a British psychologist, rejected the controlled methods of Ebbinghaus and focused on meaningful materials like stories.
- Bartlett's research, published in "Remembering," explored how people actively interpret and transform information when recalling stories.
- Bartlett's work emphasized memory as a constructive process, integrating new information with personal experiences.
Cognitive Revolution
- By the late 1930s, psychologists became disillusioned with behaviorism's limitations in explaining complex human behavior.
- Research in human memory, which blossomed in the late 1950s, further challenged the dominance of behaviorism.
- The focus shifted from animal learning models towards models of human memory.
