The History of Human Understanding
• Animism• Belief that natural phenomena are alive and influence behavior
• Possession of animal parts endows the owner with psychological

The History of Human Understanding
• Mythology and religion• Deities of spiritual rather than
physical existence• More sophisticated explanations
than animism• Non-physical forces influence
behavior• Important: science can’t determine
whether right or wrong – just different than science
• Difference set of assumptions• Both attempt to explain
behavior

The History of Human Understanding
• Physiology and Physical Sciences
• Study of the functions of the interrelations between different
parts of the brain and body
• The scientific method is used in physiology
• Physiologists taught psychologists the value of careful, systematic experimentation through
observation.

• Modern psychological methods
• Why is the scientific method important?• Systematic Empiricism• Public Knowledge
• Replication
• Peer Review (beware if bypassed)
• Answerable Questions

• Answerable Questions = Testable Theories• “Testable” is always changing
• But why do we need all this? Isn’t it commonsense?• Many commonsense beliefs have been tested
(teenage employment, aggression & self-esteem, 10% of our brain)

THE SCIENTIFIC APPROACHTHE SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
Limitations of IntuitionIntuition relies unquestioningly on personal
judgment Reflect our need to impose orderEg. Bad things happen in 3’sInvolves cognitive and motivational biases
Erroneous conclusions about cause and effectExample: Illusory correlation

BASIC AND APPLIED BASIC AND APPLIED RESEARCHRESEARCH
Basic ResearchFundamental questions about the nature
of behavior
- Theoretical issues often concern basic phenomena such as cognition, emotion, motivation, learning, psychobiology, personality development, and social behavior.

BASIC AND APPLIED BASIC AND APPLIED RESEARCHRESEARCH
• Comparing Basic and Applied Research• Neither is considered superior to the other
• Applied research is often guided by theories and findings of basic research
• Findings in applied settings often require modification of existing theories and spur more basic research
