He served as a private physician and tutor before becoming a writer in his later years. 

Locke is mostly know for his economic and political views. In psychology, he promoted the idea of a tabula rasa. In this idea, humans are born with a "blank slate" and develop their intelligence and personality based on their interactions with others, education, and environment. 

Many of his ideas form the basis of both behaviorism and social psychology.]]> 2023-03-06 12:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jzheng94/4gecqn1kjk20vkfd/wish/2505095816 Eugene Eserinsky (1921-1998) jzheng94 https://padlet.com/jzheng94/4gecqn1kjk20vkfd/wish/2505098001 Eserinsky was the son of a dentist of Russian-Jewish descent and was a pioneer in sleep research. He made the discovery of REM sleep after hours of studying the eyelids of sleeping subjects when he was a graduate student at the University of Chicago in 1953.
 
Eugene Eserinsky's discovery of REM sleep was able to launch a new world of science with new branches of medicine, leading to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, and changing the way we view our dreams and ourselves. Eserinsky was a major factor in progress of biopsychology and cognitive psychology with his discovery of sleep and rapid eye movement

In the famous Bandura Bobo doll experiment, researchers verbally and physically abused an inflatable clown doll in front of young children, who then emulated the actions of the adults by attacking the doll in a similar manner. Other experiments in which youngsters observed such violence on video produced similar results.

Bandura falls under the school of psychology known as behaviorism as well as cognitivism with his founding of the social learning theory.

He made many contributions to logic, criticism, rhetoric, physics, biology, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, metaphysics, ethics, and government politics. He studied under the philosopher, Plato, eventually gaining popularity for rejecting his ideas. When he got older he became a teacher, founding his own school in Athens, the Lyceum (Kenny and Amadio)

Aristotle wrote the first known psychological text, called "Para Psyche". This can be translated to 'About the Mind'. This book laid the groundwork for the study of psychology. He proposed that the mind was the main reason for the body's function ("first entelechy"). Aristotle believed that there were three types of souls defining life; the animal soul, the plant soul, and the human soul. Aristotle tried to understand and examine the relationships between impulses and urges within the human mind. (Shuttleworth)

Aristotle's philosophies of the mind would primarily fall under behaviorism. (Shuttleworth, Aristotle’s Psychology - History of Psychology)

He experimented on participants by placing them on a swing winding up the swing ropes and then allowing them to rapidly untwist. He then asked participants to open their eyes and walk in a straight line. Only 1 participant did not experience dizziness of the 200 volunteers.

He was born in France before neurology was a specialization. He used his artistic abilities and memory to make associations about disease patterns in the field of medicine and anatomy. (Kumar et al.)

After making many medical discoveries and accomplishments, Charcot began to study hypnosis and hysteria. He created the Salpetriere school of hypnosis and sought to put this technique on a firm scientific footing by describing the successive stages of hypnosis and showing that changes take place in the nervous system when an individual is hypnotized. He learned that hypnotization is neurological and hysteria is emotional, which was very untraditional. He was able to demonstrate the production and removal of hysterical symptoms by hypnosis. His observations helped connect abnormal conditions and normal behavior, and furthered the use of hypnotic suggestion as a therapeutic tool. (N)

B. F. Skinner had a major impact on behaviorism and the study of operant conditioning and experimental psychology. His theory of learning, the operant conditioning process, is one of the most well-known in psychology. In his theory of learning, reinforcement played a critical role in behavior development and the impacts of positive and negative behavior in nature. With many accomplishments and awards, B. F.

In her theory, she argued that children should only be analyzed when they reach the latency period, which began around the age of six. She attended a private school but later was said that she learned very little at school with a majority of her learning from the teachings of her father's friends and associates.

Gazzaniga has made significant discoveries in understanding the functional lateralization of the human brain and how hemispheres communicate. This is in clinical neuroscience, as well as philosophy, psychology, linguistics, and anthropology. His split-brain research reveals a complex mosaic of mental processes involved in human cognition. Besides Michael's discovery that the two halves of the brain experience the world quite differently, he also pioneered using MRI to understand how genes influence the size and shape of the callosum in monozygotic twins, he has used functional imaging to examine lateral specialization in the normal brain, and he used ERPs to examine the distribution of perceptual, attentional and linguistic functions in the normal and brain-bisected patient along with much more research and studies on neurological sciences such as lesions, etc. Recently, he has even been using diffusion tensor imaging to think about how the callosum integrates information between the two half brains.

He was a German physician with an interest in astronomy, and he published a doctoral dissertation which was about the influence of the moon and the planets on the human body and diseases. He also proposed in this that there was an existence of an invisible fluid in the body that reacts to the gravitational force on the planets.

Mesmer's theory of Mesmerism later became a forerunner of the modern practice of hypnotism. He later revised his theory which could be activated by any magnetized object and manipulated by any trained person. He used his hypnosis to achieve results with patients, claiming cures for blindness, paralysis, convulsions, and other hysterical conditions. His discovery of this theory of illness that involved internal magnetic forces helped lay the groundwork for modern spiritualism and was of great interest to psychical researchers investigating paranormal phenomena.

This hypnosis that he discovered fits in with psychoanalysis which dealt with the unconscious mind to cure mental disorders and bio-psychoanalytical.

He was known for founding classical conditioning, and he was appointed to the Russian Academy of Sciences and received the 1904 Nobel Prize in Physiology. (“The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1904”)

Ivan Pavlov studied the physiology of digestion at the Institute of Experimental Medicine. He researched and studied dogs, and noticed their natural salivation upon the presentation of food. He also noticed their salivation when they saw a white lab coat on an assistant. This lead him to believe that a conditioned response occurred by the dogs association of the presentation of food with the assistant. Pavlov was also able to demonstrate that animals could be conditioned to salivate to the sound of a tone as well (the bell). (Cherry, “Ivan Pavlov and His Discovery of Classical Conditioning”)

Ivan Pavlov would fall under the school of psychology of behaviorism due to his classical conditioning work.

He was a student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle. Plato was the founder of the Academy in Athens. Plato had an aristocratic origin and his parents' plans for his political career, but he devoted his life to philosophy and his ideas. He wrote the Republic Duality of the Psyche. (History of Psychology)

Plato primarily studied the duality of psyche, connections between the mind and the body, and mental state. He defined 3 aspects of the psyche; reason, feeling, and appetite. (History of Psychology) He proposed that the human psyche was the base of knowledge and that our minds were created with everything that we need to know. He says that learning is a process called anamnesis, where we have to unlock all of the knowledge we were born with. He says that the healthy mind will create a balance between the three parts of the mind (the logistikon, the thumos, and the epithumeticon) and the dualistic aspect of the mind, and the three parts are balanced between intellect and desire. (Shuttleworth, Aristotle’s Psychology - History of Psychology)

Plato would primarily fall under cognitive psychology for his work on how people learn and unlock knowledge from the brain, and also the different parts of the brain and the mind (some aspects of what he studied could fall under gestalt or behaviorism).

He is known for his hypothesis that religious experience is linked to temporal lobe epilepsy and wide-ranging experiments and theories in behavioral neurology, including his invention of the mirror box. (“Vilayanur S. Ramachandran”)

In the beginning of his career, Ramachandran studied visual perception, using the methods of psychophysics. Later, Ramachandran studied cognitive neurology, (specifically neurological syndromes). He studied how the two eyes combine information to allow us to see depth, how visual perception works (filling in, color and motion, etc.), phantom limbs, anosognosia, the mirror box, and synesthesia. The mirror box was created to alleviate phantom limb pain. He believes that phantom limbs might be due to changes in the brain, rather than in the peripheral nerves due to his research and experiments. (“V.S. Ramachandran Biography | Last.fm”)

Adler believed that we all have one basic desire and goal: to belong and to feel significant. Adler developed the first holistic theory of personality, psychopathology, and psychotherapy that was intimately connected to a humanistic philosophy of living.

Adler fits in the schools of psychology known as humanism and psychoanalytic as he explains the need for the human species to generate positive social change and impact along with striving for belonging and superiority which come along with self-actualization.

Her research showed that early attachments critically impact a child's development and well-being. Her work also influenced other areas of psychology, such as parenting and child care, and inspired further research on how early attachment affects adult romantic relationships.

Ainsworth devised an experiment called the “Strange Situation” in reaction to John Bowlby's initial finding that infants form an emotional bond to its caregiver. In this experiment, the infant is placed in scenarios with or without its mother as well as with or without a stranger.

Ainsworth best aligns under the cognitive school of psychology as children automatically have an emotional bond to their caregiver and look to them for comfort.

He was from New York, and he received his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh. He wrote 13 books on psychology. (Nagourney, “Dr. Richard S. Lazarus, 80; Charted Terrain Of Emotion”)

He made many discoveries, including discoveries on preparing someone for emotion, unconscious and consciousness, coping, blindsight, and stress (12.04.2002 - Richard Lazarus, UC Berkeley Psychology Faculty Member and Influential Researcher, Dies At 80); specifically  recognizing the importance of the cognitive determinants of the stressor and their evaluation, which determine to a large extent the character of the stressful situation and the way of reaction following it. He believed that stress reaction depends primarily on the cognitive appraisal. He discovered that it took place in three phases: primary assessment, secondary assessment, and tertiary assessment.  (“Richard Stanley Lazarus (1922 - 2002)”) He discovered the cognitive appraisal theory. This is how an individual evaluates the impact of an event on his or her self or well-being, and is connected to many things.

Richard falls under the school of psychology of behaviorism due to his findings in emotional psychology or cognitivism due to the studies on stress/mental patterns.

They worked together at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Washington University in St. Louis before founding the Reproductive Biology Research Foundation (Masters and Johnson Institute), where they conducted independent sexological research and organized training workshops. (Masters and Johnson Collection)

They discovered the theory of a four-stage model of sexual response (also known as, the human sexual response cycle) and their study of sexual response among the elderly. They measured physiological responses to sexual stimulation in their subjects with methods such as electrocardiography, electroencephalography, and intravaginal photography. They identified four distinct stages of sexual arousal (excitement, plateau, orgasmic, and resolution), described arousal- and 🤬-related changes in vaginal and uterine tissues, and determined that women are capable of having multiple orgasms. They also discovered that in a healthy individual, sexual desire can persist into advanced age. (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica)

Masters and Johnson would fall under the school of psychology of biopsychology and humanistic, because their research is different genetic and biological processes and also about behaviors and needs.

Guilford, American psychologist, also studied the distinction between convergent and divergent production of the human intelligence. Guildford  proposed that three dimensions were necessary for accurate descriptions and was a member of the Society of Experimental Psychologists in 1937 and became the third president of the Psychometric Society.

He identified a total of 90 discrete intellectual abilities and 30 behavioral abilities and his Structure of Intellect Theory stated that an individuals performance on intelligence test can be traced back to the underlying mental abilities or factors of intelligence with 180 different intellectual abilities organized among 3 dimensions.
Guilford's theory and studies on intellectual abilities and performance is part of the cognitive school of Psychology as it is tied in with cognitive abilities of humans.

David discovered the achievement-based motivational theory and models, and promoted bettering employee assessment methods, advocating competency-based assessments and tests. He researched the three types of motivation, which are the need for achievement, the need for authority and power, and the need for affiliation. He also researched the characteristics of the people who use each type of motivation and how to understand each of them. (David Mcclelland: Achievement Motivation – BusinessBalls.com)

Her own theories also questioned many of traditional Freudian theories and disagreed with him about inherent differences in the psychology of men and women.
She begins her study of psychoanalysis to help herself cope and looked at neurosis in a different perspective, leading to her making a detailed theory of neurosis. She believed neurosis as a continuous process, whereas neuroses as commonly occurring through sporadically in a person's lifetime. Horney believed that certain stimulus, such as bereavement and divorce as less important, but negative influences during childhood impacts a child's perception of events, as opposed to a parent's intentions.

Karen Horney's Neo-Freudian views contributed to her theory of neurotic needs and research on feminine psychology and overall, the Gestalt and Psychoanalysis study of psychology with their impacts on mental health and self-analysis.

He worked on the prediction and measurement of aptitude at a faculty in Wisconsin where had his first major publication of the Aptitude Testing.

The reinforcement theory of learning helped form the basis of most of his works which were associated with each other in the learning process. His learning theories expressed his belief that psychology had its own quantitative laws which could be stated in mathematical equations and also discovered that the stimulus-response connection depends on both the kind and amount of reinforcement.

His works helped build the Cognitive study of psychology and as well as the study of Behavior and his approach to these discoveries and theories.

His works focused on the development research on emotions, which he was also able to conduct groundbreaking research on. This challenged the theory that emotions were undifferentiated and also validated universally recognizable expressions; he was also able to define personality as interrelated systems and emotions as a one of the core components.

Working with Max Wertheimer and Kurt Koffka, he was a subject for Wertheimer's famous movement, known as the phi phenomenon, led them to turn to conclusions about the interent nature of vision.
This collaboration formed the founding of a new holistic vision of psychology being the gestalt theory. 

He had been named the director of the Prussian Academy of Sciences anthropoid research station as he worked there for six years, and within those years he wrote a book on problem solving called The Mentality of Apes. It included his research by observing how chimps solved problems and concluded that rather than learning through trial-and-error, they had an insight which Köhler determined as unwaveringly purposeful.

These discoveries Köhler found made an impact on the behavioral studies of psychology and the observable parts of cognitive psychology through the chimpanzees' problem solving and their insight.

At the end of his studies he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Mesmer considered the health effects caused by movements of the heavenly bodies. He was well known for his work with animal magnetism. (Famous Scientists)

The main idea that Mesmer is known for is hypnosis, called animal magnetism. In 1774 during a magnetic treatment with a female patient, he perceived a fluid flowing through the woman’s body whose flow was affected by his will. He called this fluid and its manipulation 'Animal Magnetism' and developed an elaborate theory regarding its effect on health. He thought that every individual had magnetic fluid flowing through channels throughout his body and that blockages in the flow of this fluid caused emotional or physical disease.  He believed that certain individuals had more or less innate animal magnetism, and therefore varied in their ability to manipulate the flow of this fluid. (HMI College of Hypnotherapy)

Franz Mesmer would fall under the school of psychology of gestalt, because of the connection of the mind to the body through this hypnosis.

Piaget had several ideas or theories about cognitive development throughout his career, which were about intellectual development, the roots of knowledge, schemas, and especially the four stages of cognitive development. The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational, each at different times in a child's life. He provided support for the idea that children think differently than adults and his research identified several important milestones in the mental development of children.

He graduated in Medicine in Zurich in 1909. (Filho)

Rorschach wanted to know why different people reacted differently to certain stimuli. Because Rorschach was interested in both art and psychoanalysis, he suddenly realized that the two could be combined. He began showing random inkblots to people to see what their responses would be. He created the Rorschach Inkblot test to study and analyze how patients would react and what associations they would form from random stimuli. (Famous Scientists, “Hermann Rorschach - Biography, Facts and Pictures”)

Henry Rorschach would fall under the school of psychology of cognitivism because of his research in how people react to stimuli (in their brain).

Rotter attended the University of Iowa where he studied with Kurt Lewin. After earning his master's degree, Rotter practiced clinical psychology - one of the few  at the time - at Worcester State Hospital in Massachusetts. Rotter, who earned a doctorate in clinical psychology, became one of the first clinical psychologists to be trained in what is now the traditional way. (The Social Learning Theory of Julian B. Rotter)

Julian's primary work was on the social learning theory, including the locus of control (well-known), behavioral potential, expectancy, reinforcement value, etc. Rotter chose the empirical law of influence as his motivating factor. Rotter combined behaviorism and the study of personality without relying on physiological instincts or desires as motivation. The main idea of ​​Julian Rotter's social learning theory is that personality represents the interaction of an individual with his environment. One cannot speak of the inner personality of an individual that is independent of the environment. Rather, to understand behavior, one must consider both the individual (ie, his life history of learning and experience) and the environment (ie, the stimuli of which the person is aware and responds). (The Social Learning Theory of Julian B. Rotter)

Julian Rotter would fall under the school of psychology of gestalt or behaviorism because he studies our minds and how we interact with our environments and why we act how we act.

He was trained as a social psychologist at Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Michigan, where he received his Ph.D. Schachter produced, on the basis of his own intuitions and distinctive research and analytic style, the prize-winning Psychology of Affiliation (1959). He won the American Psychological Association’s Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award in 1969 and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1983. (Schachter, Stanley | Encyclopedia.com)

The main theory that he was known for was the Schachter-Singer Two Factor Theory of Emotion, which states that there are two key components of an emotion: physical arousal and a cognitive label. In other words, the experience of emotion involves first having some kind of physiological response which the mind then identifies. All of the participants were told that they were being injected with a new drug to test their eyesight.
However, one group of participants was informed of the possible side-effects that the injection might cause while the other group of participants was not.
Participants were then placed in a room with another participant who was actually a confederate in the experiment. (Cherry, “The Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory of Emotion”)

Stanley Schachter would fall under the schools of psychology of gestalt and cognitive due to the research on emotion.

In the late 19th century, Binet was asked by the French government to develop a way to identify children who were struggling in school and in need of extra help. He created a series of tests that assessed various cognitive abilities, such as memory and attention, and used these tests to measure a child's mental age. Binet's work helped establish the field of psychometrics, which is concerned with the measurement of psychological traits and abilities. His intelligence tests were widely adopted and became the basis for the modern IQ test. Binet's work also had a significant impact on the development of the cognitive school of psychology, which focuses on understanding mental processes such as perception, attention, and memory.
