25
Hume's principle of contiguity=
because causes are never observed directly, we derive them from experiencing the co-occurence of phenomena.
26
rationalism = (5 kenmerken: main idee, source of knowledge, research method, applications & persons)
- existence of innate knowledge - reason is the source of knowledge - main research method = deductive reasoning - main applications: logic and mathematics - plato & descartes
27
empiricism=
- no innate knowledge (blank slate) - perception is the source of knowledge - main research methods: observation, experimentation, inductive reasoning - main applications: natural sciences - natural philosophers, Locke, Berkely, Hume
28
idealism =
view that human knowledge is a construction of the mind and does not neccessarily correspond to an outside world
29
wat zei Hume over de observatie van causes
because causes are never observed directly, we derive them from experiencing the co-occurence of phenomena.
30
wat zei berkeley over perception
All that we can be certain of is our perception: we don’t know if a table is actually there, we just know that we see it. Can it be our own mind? No, not in our own power. Therefore: other Will or Spirit that produces our perceptions if the soul entirely consists of impressions acquired through observation, then we have no guarantee that the contents of the soul are a faithful rendition of the world.
31
Hume: we associate by....
familiarity. because situations resemble each other, we assume they come from the same entity in the world
32
Hume en Kant: who reacted to who
Kant reageerde op Hume. dus hume was eerst, daarna kant
33
wat wilde kant bereiken met zijn reactie op hume
dat newton protected zou worden van hume
34
wat was kant voor stroming: empiricism of rationalism
hij combineerde empiricism met rationalism!! want kant = twee kanten
35
2 main punten van de reactie van kant
1. perception is much richer than postulated by hume and berkeley 2. such perception can only exist in a world of things that is not in contradiction with it
36
francis bacon was een....
empiricist
37
wat zei kant over empiricisme en rationalisme
by combining input from senses and understanding, we can come to concepts and judgements that generalize across the perceived instances and go beyond basic experiences. the mind adds knowledge to sensations that are not derived from the observation itself, and can therefore be called innate.
38
wat waren volgens kant de meest belangrijke types of knowledge added by the mind
en dus innate: time, space and cause-effect
39
wat zei kant over time
because there is continuity in the understanding and the perceptions, the mind can conclude that there must be continuity in time both for the observer and the observed.
40
wat zei kant over space
because sensations are experienced as caused by something from the outside, there is a sense of space that need not be learned
41
wat zei kant over cause-effect sequences
the mind puts forward the assumption that every event has a cause: therefore the mind sees cause-effect sequences wherever possible
42
kant zei dit over humans, knowledge en environment
humans are not merely centers of knowledge. they are agents operating in the environment on the basis of their knowledge
43
wat zei Reid
berkely and hume's idealism has gone too far, we need to return to common sense. the decouling of the mind and reality (by descartes) has spun out of control, philosophy needs to return to the view of aristotle of perception as a simple record of the world as it is.
44
wat zei kant over psychologie
psych is geen science, want het kan niet ingedeeld worden in mathematical laws, heeft geen axioms, geen rational analysis en geen indisputible demonstrations. empirical approach leads to collections of facts that can be ordered and classified = historical doctrine of nature, dit is het enige wat psychologie kan worden.
45
wat zei kant over introspection
kant was tegen introspection, want kan niet informulas worden gezet (geen aspects of space and substance, only time). the act of introspection by itself changes and displaces the state of the observed mind
46
wie was de main philosopher van de enlightenment
Kant
47
wat deed wolff
defined the concept of psychology
48
wanneer was wolff
1700
49
wat zei wolff dat nodig was voor psychologie
psych starts from axioms, which had to be derived from more fundamental disciplines. on the basis of deductive reasoning, these axioms would lead to the demonstration of new knowledge. this guarantees true conclusions. pure reason without observation induces a risk, therefore psychology needs a close interaction between reason and observation. this is build on introspection. psych should aim for mathematical demonstrations, only then there is full understanding
50
waar was reid tegen
het idealisme van hume en berkeley
51
aristotle's 3 parts of metaphysics
- ontology (study of universe and its entities) - natural theology (study of Gods) - universal science (study of axioms and demonstrations on which theoretical knowledge is based)
52
bij wie hoorde het positivism
auguste comte
53
kant antropologie
hij schreef een boek over human functioning, but did not call it a science -> collection of narratives (over physiognomy)
54
physiognomy
deriving ppls character from their appearance or behaviour
55
Herbart
published a book: lehrbuch zur psychologie in 1816. gebaseerd op wolff's division between empiricism and rational psychologie, with mathematical formulas
56
phrenology
the study of the conformation of the skull as indicative of mental faculties and traits of character
57
comte over psychologie
denied psych as a science due to problems with introspection
58
comte heeft ontwikkeld...
positivism en sociology
59
comte: the only way the mind can be studied is via....
biology and products of the mind.
60
comte's hierarchy of six sciences
1. mathematics 2. astronomy 3. physics 4. chemistry 5. biology 6. sociology
61
wat zei comte over die six sciences
the lower levels are dependent on the laws they make in the upper levels, making them take longer before reaching the same level of perfection
62
upham
schreef een boek over moral and mental philosophy.
63
bain
publishes the senses and the intellect & emotions and the will in 1855. includeerde ook physiology
64
herbart
publishes lehrbuch zu psychologie in 1816
65
hooke
determined the minimal visual angle that could be discriminated, in 1600. belangrijk voor de telescoop en microscoop
66
mayer
onderzocht de limit of vision
67
wanneer wordt het einde van de enlightenment gezien
als de dood van kant (1804)
68
Weber
audition, all the tactile senses. studied het gevoel van een kompas (dichter bij elkaar is minder het gevoel dat er 2 verschillende dingen je prikken) en studied dat mensen beter kunnen inschatten wat verschillen tussen gewichten zijn als ze hun armen mogen optillen (dus discrimination relies on muscle and joints)
69
Fechner
mathematical law connecting sensation magnitude to stimulus intensity
70
who invented psychophysics
weber & fechner
71
the personal equation
ze kwamen er achter dat niet iedereens observaties hetzelfde waren -> meer interesse in de psychologie en individuele verschillen vanuit andere (toen nog: echte) sciences
72
von Hemholtz
1860: measure the speed of nerve impulses
73
Donders
mental chronometry, relatie tussen reaction time, perception and mental processes
74
carlos linneaus
classification of plants and animals
75
what was Darwins' first observation
although many plants can fertilize themselve, they did not, and if they did, those offspring were less healthy than those produced by cross-fertilization.
76
the dilution problem
darwin failed to explain how a single new plant or animal could come to dominate the rest. Jensen zei namelijk dat de genes zouden dilluten in de group, totdat er niks van overblijft. uiteindelijk zei darwin dat evolution alleen mogelijk was when a change in the environment favored a whole group of individuals at the same time
77
common misunderstandings of evolutionary theory
1. there is no direction in genetic changes 2. organisms do not become better or stronger
78
there is no direction in genetic changes =
genetic material does not have knowledge of the environment. it is all random, sometimes an alteration results in increases in chances of the organisms survival and/or reproductive success -> this variant increases in number at the expense of the other variants
79
organisms do not become better or stronger =
adaptations do not need to be for the better: bijvoorbeeld dat wolven en mammoths in aantallen afnamen door mensen (terwijl zij heel sterk en beter zijn) en huiselijke dieren groeiden juist (terwijl zij minder sterk en minder slim zijn)
80
Galton:
wanted to show heredity in human traits (particularily intelligence). -> statistician (regression, correlation, regression to the mean), grondlegger van eugenetica. neef van Darwin (daarom eugenetics)
81
wat is het verschil tussen psych en physics research
physics: extremely accurate measurements of a few observations psychology: large numbers of observations, so that the noise can be cancelled out.
82
quetelet
rond 1850, BMI geintroduceerd en analysed crime (ook statistician).
