Study Notes

Solomon Asch

Polish psychologist and pioneer in social psychology
Conducted experiments on conformity to demonstrate the influence of group pressure on opinions

Pierre Broca

French physician who discovered the language center in the brain, known as "Broca's area"
Located in the frontal lobe of the left cerebral hemisphere, it controls speech production
Broca's aphasia: impaired speech production, but language comprehension is relatively preserved
Broca's area is involved in syntax, grammar, verbal working memory, and language comprehension
Plays a crucial role in movement and understanding of actions of others

Charles Cooley

Developed the "Looking-Glass Self" theory
Identity is shaped by how others perceive us
Internal conversations involve figuring out who we think we are and what others think of us
We change based on what we think society thinks of us

Kimberle Crenshaw

Pioneering scholar in critical race theory, Black feminist legal theory, and race, racism, and the law
Coined the term "intersectionality" to describe the double bind of simultaneous racial and gender prejudice
Work has identified key issues in perpetuating inequality, including the "school to prison pipeline" and criminalization of Black teenage girls

Raymond Dart

Discovered the Taung Child skull in South Africa (1924), which was dated to be 3-4 million years old
Believed the skull belonged to an early human
Placed South Africa as the origin of the human family tree

Charles Darwin

Provided evidence for the theory of evolution through observations of seashell fossils in the Andes Mountains and unique species on the Galapagos Islands
Noted variations in size and color within groups of plants and animals, and believed that changes in climate and environmental conditions led to adaptations

Émile Durkheim

French sociologist who formally established sociology as an academic discipline
Influenced by Comte, worked alongside Karl Marx and Max Weber to propel sociology forward
Developed the sociological method still practiced today, focusing on structural functionalism
Believed society functions logically and protects the interests of its members
Observed that humans are social creatures who define themselves through social interactions
