24Contemporary Perspectives in Psychology
Biological
Psychodynamic
Humanistic
Cognitive
Learning
Sociocultural
25Biological
- Relate behavior to events taking place inside the
body, particularly within the brain and central
nervous system
- A psychologist would be interested in changes
that take place in the nervous system as the
result of learning a new task
- Electrical stimulation of certain areas of the
human brain will produce sensations of pleasure
pain and even vivid memories of past events
- A chemical substance that promotes development of
body structures and regulates various body
functions
- Genes - the basic building blocks of heredity
26Cognitive
- The mental processes of perception, memory, and
information processing by which the individual
acquires knowledge, solves problems, plans for
the future
- The mind actively processes information it
receives and transforms it
- Incoming information is processed in various
ways it is selected, compared, and combined with
other information already in memory, transformed,
rearranged, and so on
- Investigation centers on the way in which we
perceive and mentally represent the world
27Humanistic
- Free will vs. determinism
- Psychologists would be interested in a persons
self-concept, feelings of self-esteem and
self-awareness
- The pursuit of self-actualization
- A psychologist considers the persons experience,
as perceived by that person, to be the most
important event in psychology
- Development of the self to the fullest potential
28Learning
- A psychologist studies individuals by looking at
their behavior rather than at their internal
workings
- John B. Watson argued that only you can
introspect about your perceptions and feelings,
but others can observe your behavior
- Stimulus ?Response (S ?R) Psychologists maintain
that a science of psychology can be based
strictly on what goes in and what comes out
(input ?output)
- Learn by rewards and punishments (reinforcement)
29Psychodynamic
Behavior stems from processes that are unconscious
Focus of todays neoanalysts concentrates on
deliberate choice
