- 1. Chapter 1 An Introduction to Psychology
Notas del editor
- The first 3 slides relate to the American Psychological Association’s (APA’s) Learning Outcome 1.1: Characterize the nature of psychology as a discipline . This slide is most relevant to Learning Outcome 1.1b: Identify and explain the primary objectives of psychology: describing, understanding, predicting, and controlling behavior and mental processes .
- This slide explains how psychology can be a science and why it is one. Thus it relates to Learning Outcome 1.1a. The last bullet on this slide touches on Outcome 1.1c -- Compare and contrast the assumptions and methods of psychology with those of other disciplines -- as it suggests foci that might distinguish psychology from other fields.
- This slide introduces the functional perspective in psychology, which remains the dominant underlying viewpoint in the discipline. It is thus relevant to Outcome 1.4 -- Explain major perspectives of psychology .
- Understanding the definition of psychology is related to Outcome 1.1. Distinguishing among clinical, applied, and research psychologists related to Outcomes 4.1 (Describe major and emerging applied areas of psychology) and 10.2 (Identify the types of academic experience and performance in psychology and the liberal arts that will facilitate entry into the workforce, postbaccalaureate education, or both.)
- This slide explains why psychology is a science (Outcome 1.1a) and distinguishes somewhat between behavior and the mind -- Outcome 1.2d(5), understanding the mind-body problem .
- This slide and the next 2 relate to Outcome 4.1.
- This slide mentions the degrees generally held by different types of clinically-oriented psychologists and this relates to Outcome 10.2.
- The specialties described on this slide relate to Outcome 1.4.
- The learning goals listed on this slide relate primarily to Outcomes 1.2b and 1.2d. Understanding the mind-body problem reflects 1.2d(5), while understanding the nature-nurture controversy surrounding the origin of knowledge corresponds to 1.2d(1). Discussing psychology’s history is captured in Outcome 1.2b; noting the early clinical contributions of Freud and the humanists relates additionally to Objective 4.1.
- See Outcome 1.2d(5).
- Figure 1.2. René Descartes introduced the concept of the reflex, which he described as an automatic, involuntary reaction of a physical body to an event in the outside world. He thought the mediating structure was the pineal gland, shown here as a tear-shaped area at the back of the head.
- This slide and the next correspond to Outcome 1.2d(1).
- This slide and the following 8 trace the history of psychology and are related to Outcome 1.2b.
- As functionalism, behaviorism, the psychodynamic perspective, and humanism are all current perspectives in Psychology, this slide and the following 4 are related not only to Outcome 1.2b, but also 1.4.
- This slide and the following 2 speak not only to Outcomes 1.2b and 1.4, but also 4.1.
- This slide and the next one correspond to Outcome 1.2b.
- The learning goals listed here correspond to Outcome 1.2c -- levels of analysis, from the biological, through the cognitive, to the evolutionary -- and to 1.4.
- This slide touches on the importance of Outcome 1.3e -- Integrate theorectical perspectives to produce comprehensive and mutifaceted explanations .
- This slide relates to both 1.2b and 1.4.
- This slide emphasizes multiple levels of analysis, from the cellular to the behavioral, and thus relates to Outcome 1.2c.
- This slide and the next are relevant to Outcome 1.4.
- This slide suggests the importance of critical thinking, captures in Outcome 3.
