AQA A Level Psychology Approaches Exam Questions And Answers (Verified And Updated) Who was Wundt and what did he do - answer✔✔He is known as the father of Psychology opening the first institute for experimental psychology in Germany in 1879. He separated psychology from philosophy and focused on studying the mind. He took a very reductionist approach where he simplified everything down to cause and effect. Outline introspection and problems with it - answer✔✔Introspection is a psychological method to analyse someones thoughts and fe elings internally, this was done as there were no brain scans or computers at the time and thus they used this technique of presenting a stimuli and asking how they felt after seeing it. Problems with it include how it does not explain how the mind works i t simply relies on peoples subjective thoughts. Secondly it doesn't provide data that can be used with certain reliability. What are the 5 factors that need to be looked at when deciding whether psychology is a science - answer✔✔Objectivity Control Predict ability Hypothesis Testing Replication Evaluate the strengths and limitations to a scientific approach in psychology - answer✔✔:) - Due to its reliance on objectivity and scientific methods knowledge acquired is more than just the passive acceptance of facts :) - Because scientific methods beli eve in determinism they are able to establish the causes of behaviour through the use of methods that are replicable :) - If scientific methods no longer fit the facts then they can easily be refined or abandoned meaning that scientific knowledge is self c orrective :( - Be focusing on objectivity and control in experiments they tend to be too unrealistic and we lack an insight into natural behaviour :( - A lot of psychological behaviour is unobservable and thus cannot be measured with much accuracy meaning that the gap between actual data and theories put forward is quite large :( - Not all psychologists believe that human behaviour can be viewed scientifically as it is not subject to laws and regularities that science implies The first worldwide accepted ap proach was behaviourism, outline this - answer✔✔Behaviourism, also known as learning theory, started in the early 1900's by Watson who believed that psychological research before this wasn't scientific enough. There are three assumptions behaviourism make s: 1) All behaviour is learnt (exception of inborn reflexes) 2) Animals and humans learn in the same way 3) The minds is irrelevant Outline Pavlov's classical conditioning - answer✔✔Pavlov was studying dogs salivation however during his studies he found th at dogs would end up salivating before there was any food, the direction of his studies changed and outlined classical conditioning. He eventually ended up ringing a bell before giving the dogs food and then he would ring a bell and give no food, the dogs still salivated. The food is the UCS and salivation is the UCR. The bell had become the CS and salivation the CR. This process of learning can be applied to human development. Comfort for the baby is an UCS that produces happiness, the UCR. The babies mot her will talk to it while she feeds it and changes its nappies etc. and thus the baby hears its mothers voice every time it is made happy. The sound of the mothers voice is matched with the UCS and therefore becomes a CS, eventually the sound of the mother s voice alone will make the baby happy. The CS now causes the CR. Outline the several principles of classical conditioning - answer✔✔Generalisation - stimuli similar to CS produces the CR Discrimination - when stimuli similar to CS does not produce the CR Extinction - when the CR isn't produced after the CS Spontaneous recovery - when a previously extinct CR is produced in response to the CS High order conditioning - when a new CS produces the CR because the animal associates it with the original CS Outline Skinners operant conditioning - answer✔✔Skinner studies how animals can learn from consequences of their own actions. Consequences involve either:
