One and Two Sample Hypothesis
Justify the contention that psychology has almost always been concerned with studying human cognition.
The philosophers who most influenced the development of psychology as a science all sought to explain human cognition.
Give examples of early efforts (before 1950) to study human cognition experimentally
Fechner study cognitive events (sensations) experimentally.
Ebbinghaus study learning and memory experimentally.
William James cited considerable research on cognition and suggested many additional research possibilities.
Sir Frederick Charles Bartlett demonstrated how memory is influenced more by personal cognitive themes or schema then by the mechanical laws of association.
Piaget demonstrated that a child interactions with environment become more complex and adaptive as its cognitive structure becomes more complex and adaptive as its cognitive structure becomes more articulated through maturation and experience.
Give examples of events that occurred in the 1950s that contributed to the developments of experimental cognitive psychology.
During an informational symposium in 1956 Allen Newell and Herbert Simon presented papers on computers logic.. Noam Chomsky presented views on language as an inherited rule governed system; Miller described his research demonstrating that people can discriminate only seven different aspects of something.
In 1951 car Lashley argued that the explanation of serial or changed behavior offered by the behaviorist, that stressed the importance of external stimulation is insufficient.
Leon Fistinger noted that the ideas that one entertains may be compatible with or incompatible with one another. An example of incompatibility is describing a boring task but making it sound exciting or smoking cigarettes while believing that smoking causes cancer.
An example of compatible a theory of cognitive dissonance (1957) no reference to behaviorist ideas.
In the early 50s (1955) Jerome Bruner assisted Sir Frederick Bartlett in
