The mind is:

how the mind operates:

our goals



Studying the mind: early work in cognitive psychology
 1800s – ideas that it was not possible to study the mind
 reason: not possible for the mind to study itself
 there are properties of the mind that cannot be measured
 term “cognitive psychology” – 1967

Person Date Procedure Results and Conclusions Contribution
Donders 1868 Simple reaction time vs Choice reaction takes 100 First cognitive
choice reaction time milliseconds longer; psychology

milliseconds to make a
decision
Wundt 1879 Analytic introspection No reliable results Established the first
laboratory od
scientific psychology
Ebbinghaus 1885 Savings method to Forgetting occurs rapidly in Quantitative
measure forgetting the first 1 – 2 days after measurement of
original learning mental processes

, James 1890 No experiments; reported Descriptions of a wide range First psychology
observations of his own of experiences textbook; some of
experience his observations are
still valid today




1868: Donders’ experiment: How long does it take to make a decision?
 one of the first cognitive psychology experiments
 illustrates: mental responses cannot be measured directly, but must be inferred from behaviour

 analytical introspection: technique in which trained participants describe their sensations, feelings
and thought process in response to stimuli




1885: Ebbinghaus’ memory experiment: What is the time course of forgetting?
 nature of memory and forgetting
