Study Notes
Definition of Experimental Psychology
- Examines how behavior influences personality and life experiences.
- Investigates the factors that affect individual behavior.
Role of Experimental Psychologists
- Focus on theoretical questions related to behavior.
- Formulate hypotheses to test through controlled experiments.
- Aim to prove or disprove these hypotheses using empirical evidence.
Topics of Study
- Sensation: How sensory experiences are perceived and interpreted.
- Perception: The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information.
- Attention: The focus on specific stimuli while ignoring others.
- Memory: The mechanisms of encoding, storing, and recalling information.
- Cognition: The mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension.
- Emotion: The study of feelings and their effect on behavior and decision-making.
Research Context
- Involves both human and animal subjects to understand behavioral responses.
- Provides insights into a variety of psychological phenomena.
