Study Notes
Early Pioneers in Cognitive Psychology
- Ebbinghaus's savings curve demonstrates that memory decreases rapidly for the first 2 days after initial learning and then levels off.
- The savings curve measures forgetting and provides a quantifiable measure of memory.
- Ebbinghaus's method demonstrates that memory can be quantified and used to describe a property of the mind.
- William James, an early American psychologist, made significant observations about the mind in his textbook "Principles of Psychology" based on his own mind's operation.
- James's observation on attention implies the withdrawal from some things to effectively deal with others, a concept still relevant today.
- Wundt, Donders, Ebbinghaus, and James provided a promising start to the study of the mind, covering topics like attention, memory, and perception.
- Psychology shifted away from studying mental processes due to negative reactions to Wundt's analytic introspection.
- Early pioneers in cognitive psychology include Donders, Wundt, Ebbinghaus, and James, each contributing to the field in different ways.
- Watson's dissatisfaction with analytic introspection led to the founding of behaviorism, which aimed at predicting and controlling behavior through objective experimental methods.
- Behaviorism, proposed by Watson, aimed to address the deficiencies of analytic introspection by focusing on observable behavior.
- Watson's behaviorism marked a shift in psychology towards a purely objective, experimental branch of natural science.
- Watson's behaviorism aimed to predict and control behavior through experimental methods, in contrast to the focus on mental processes in early psychology.
