Using Single- Subject Designs A Little History A major goal of psychology is to understand human and animal behaviour. Understanding a particular behaviour means knowing what variables influence the behaviour and what functional relationships exist between these variables and behaviours. Psychology’s beginnings as an experimental discipline began in the latter half of the 19th century. Early researchers recognized the problems created by apparently random variations in the behaviour of their

a. Outline the Key Concepts of the Design Argument [21 marks] The design argument is also referred to at the Teleological Argument stemmed from the Greek work ‘Telos’ meaning end or purpose. It is an ‘A posterior’ argument (from experience) based on our empirical senses and it is synthetic meaning that it is from observation. The argument is also inductive meaning there a number of possible conclusions. The main basis of the Teleological argument is based on a designer commonly known as ‘the

Evolution has been the prominent science taught in public schools. Since then‚ Creationists have been fighting tooth-and-nail to have their opposing theory‚ Intelligent Design‚ taught alongside Evolution. Their main argument is that there should be an equal representation of people’s views. Since Creationists’ Intelligent Design theory is a “credible” theory of science held by 40% Americans according to a poll done by Gallup‚ they believe it should be taught alongside‚ or instead of‚ the Theory of

While every argument has flaws‚ and there are many objections to “the argument from design” specifically‚ the argument itself presents clear reasons to at least consider its correctness. To begin‚ much of science is based on observation and‚ as “the argument from design” is based on observations similarly made in scientific fields‚ one can suggest

“With such signs of forethought in the design of living creature‚ can you doubt they are the work of choice or design?” (Socrates). The word ‘Telos’ is Greek for purpose. The Teleological argument thus argues that the universe is being directed towards a telos‚ an end purpose‚ and the posteriori evidence of an apparent intelligent design in the world. A posteriori argument is based on observations and/or experiences. Furthermore‚ the teleological argument is based on the character of the world and

The argument for design has evolved over time as both theologians and philosophers have needed to adjust their arguments supporting this theory to address an ever changing landscape of scientific‚ biological and cosmological discovery. Despite this the essence of the argument remains intact those in support of the theory would argue that our existence on this earth and in this universe is far too complex a chain of events to have happened by chance.
