conscious experience: Sensations (elements of perceptions), Images (elements of ideas), and affections (elements of emotions).. • These elements could be broken down into their respec[r]
Trang 1• seeks to analyze the adult mind (the total sum of experience from birth to the present) in terms of the simplest definable components and then to
find how these components fit together to form more complex experiences as well as how they
correlated to physical events To do this,
psychologists employ introspection, self-reports of sensations, views, feelings, emotions, etc
Trang 2• literally means 'looking within', to try to describe
a person's memory, perceptions, cognitive
processes, and/or motivations
• three types of mental elements constituting
conscious experience: Sensations (elements of perceptions), Images (elements of ideas), and
affections (elements of emotions)
• These elements could be broken down into their respective properties, which he determined were quality, intensity, duration, clearness, and
extensity
Trang 3• states that mental states (beliefs, desires, being
in pain, etc.) are constituted solely by their
functional role – that is, they have causal
relations to other mental states, numerous
sensory inputs, and behavioral outputs
• mental states are the corresponding functional
role, mental states can be sufficiently explained without taking into account the underlying
physical medium (e.g the brain, neurons, etc.)
that realizes such states; one need only take into account the higher-level functions in the cognitive system
Trang 4• It assumes that all behaviors are either reflexes produced by a response to certain stimuli in the environment, or a consequence of that
individual's history, including especially
reinforcement and punishment, together with the individual's current motivational state and
controlling stimuli
• Behaviorism focuses on one particular view of
learning: a change in external behavior achieved through using reinforcement and repetition to
shape behavior of learners
Trang 5Main versions
• Methodological behaviorism: Watson's
behaviorism states that only public events
(behaviors of an individual) can be objectively
observed, and that therefore private events
(thoughts and feelings) should be ignored
• Radical behaviorism: Skinner's behaviorism
theorizes that processes within the organism
should be acknowledged, particularly the
presence of private events (such as thoughts and feelings), and suggests that environmental
variables also control these internal events just as they control observable behaviors
Trang 6• Cognitive theory mainly stresses the acquisition
of knowledge and growth of the mental structure
• The process of assimilating and expanding our intellectual horizon is termed as cognitive
development
• In cognitive theories not only the environmental factors and instructional components play an
important role in learning There are additional key elements like learning to code, transform,
rehearse, and store and retrieve the information
Trang 7• A behaviorist uses feedback (reinforcement) to
change the behavior in the desired direction, while the cognitivist uses the feedback for guiding and supporting the accurate mental connections
• Cognitivists examine the learner's 'how to design' instruction that it can be assimilated (i e , what about the learners existing mental structures?) In contrast, the behaviorists looks at learners how to determine where the lesson should begin ( i e., At what level the learners are performing
successfully?) and what are the most effective
reinforces ( i.e., What are the consequences that are mostly desired by the learner ?)
Trang 8• emphasizes individuals' inherent drive towards self-actualization, the process of realizing and
expressing one's own capabilities and creativity
• It adopts a holistic approach to human existence and pays special attention to such phenomena as creativity, free will, and positive human potential
It encourages viewing ourselves as a "whole
person" greater than the sum of our parts and
encourages self exploration rather than the study
of behavior in other people Humanistic
psychology acknowledges spiritual aspiration as
an integral part of the psyche
Trang 9Humanistic Therapy
• encourages a self-awareness and mindfulness that helps the client change their state of mind and behaviour from one set of reactions to a
healthier one with more productive
self-awareness and thoughtful actions Essentially, this approach allows the merging of mindfulness and behavioural therapy, with positive social
support
Trang 10Principles of Humanistic
• Human beings, as human, supersede the sum of
their parts They cannot be reduced to components.
• Human beings have their existence in a uniquely
human context, as well as in a cosmic ecology.
• Human beings are aware and are aware of being
aware - i.e., they are conscious Human
consciousness always includes an awareness of
oneself in the context of other people.
• Human beings have the ability to make choices and therefore have responsibility.
• Human beings are intentional, aim at goals, are
aware that they cause future events, and seek
meaning, value, and creativity.
