Q

wat zei berkeley over perception

A

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.

want kant = twee kanten

35
Q

2 main punten van de reactie van kant

  2. such perception can only exist in a world of things that is not in contradiction with it
36
Q

francis bacon was een….

A

empiricist

37
Q

wat zei kant over empiricisme en rationalisme

A

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
Q

wat waren volgens kant de meest belangrijke types of knowledge added by the mind

A

en dus innate: time, space and cause-effect

39
Q

wat zei kant over time

A

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
Q

wat zei kant over space

A

because sensations are experienced as caused by something from the outside, there is a sense of space that need not be learned

41
Q

wat zei kant over cause-effect sequences

A

the mind puts forward the assumption that every event has a cause: therefore the mind sees cause-effect sequences wherever possible

42
Q

kant zei dit over humans, knowledge en environment

A

humans are not merely centers of knowledge. they are agents operating in the environment on the basis of their knowledge

43
Q

wat zei Reid

A

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
Q

wat zei kant over psychologie

A

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
Q

wat zei kant over introspection

A

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
Q

wie was de main philosopher van de enlightenment

A

Kant

47
Q

wat deed wolff

A

defined the concept of psychology

48
Q

wanneer was wolff

A

1700

49
Q

wat zei wolff dat nodig was voor psychologie

A

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
Q

waar was reid tegen

A

het idealisme van hume en berkeley

51
Q

aristotle’s 3 parts of metaphysics

A
  • 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
Q

bij wie hoorde het positivism

A

auguste comte

53
Q

kant antropologie

A

hij schreef een boek over human functioning, but did not call it a science -> collection of narratives (over physiognomy)

54
Q

physiognomy

A

deriving ppls character from their appearance or behaviour

55
Q

Herbart

A

published a book: lehrbuch zur psychologie in 1816. gebaseerd op wolff’s division between empiricism and rational psychologie, with mathematical formulas

56
Q

phrenology

A

the study of the conformation of the skull as indicative of mental faculties and traits of character

57
Q

A

biology and products of the mind.

60
Q

comte’s hierarchy of six sciences

A
  1. mathematics
  2. astronomy
  3. physics
  4. chemistry
  5. biology
  6. sociology
61
Q

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

wanneer wordt het einde van de enlightenment gezien

A

als de dood van kant (1804)

68
Q

Weber

A

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
Q

Fechner

A

mathematical law connecting sensation magnitude to stimulus intensity

70
Q

who invented psychophysics

A

weber & fechner

71
Q

the personal equation

A

ze kwamen er achter dat niet iedereens observaties hetzelfde waren -> meer interesse in de psychologie en individuele verschillen vanuit andere (toen nog: echte) sciences

Q

carlos linneaus

A

classification of plants and animals

75
Q

what was Darwins’ first observation

A

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
Q

the dilution problem

A

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
Q

common misunderstandings of evolutionary theory

A
  1. there is no direction in genetic changes
  2. organisms do not become better or stronger
78
Q

there is no direction in genetic changes =

A

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
Q

organisms do not become better or stronger =

A

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
Q

Galton:

A

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
Q

wat is het verschil tussen psych en physics research

A

physics: extremely accurate measurements of a few observations
psychology: large numbers of observations, so that the noise can be cancelled out.

82
Q

quetelet

A

rond 1850, BMI geintroduceerd en analysed crime (ook statistician).
