Study Notes
Psychology has its roots in ancient cultures, such as Buddha's exploration of how sensations and perceptions combine to form ideas in India, and Confucius' emphasis on the importance of education, human development, and relationships in China. China also has a history of administering tests of ability as part of its education system, with an early experiment in distraction dating back to the sixth century AD. In Ancient Egypt, the Edwin Smith Papyrus presents a rational and scientific approach to medicine, with remedies for almost 50 conditions and only two containing incantations to ward off evil. Early humans viewed all things in nature as living and attributed human-like qualities to inanimate objects, a view known as animism. Greek philosophers sought natural explanations for the origin, structure, and processes of the universe, with Socrates believing in subjective truth and Plato believing in the independent existence of ideas. Aristotle distinguished between memory and recall, and explained imagination and dreaming as the pondering of lingering sensory experiences.
