Thank you We sneak and here's your smoked you sure

00:05

brought to you by research methods After all you can't

00:08

know for sure that your sister's afraid of snakes until

00:11

you put one in her bed and here's our question

00:15

Who would agree with the following statement A limitation of

00:17

the field of psychology is the use of indirect research

00:20

methods psychologist should base all theories on observable behaviour and

00:25

hear the potential answers All right i would agree lots

00:28

and rolling All right well early psychologist didn't have the

00:33

luxury of high tech equipment that could be used to

00:35

study the brain Instead the founding fathers of psychology had

00:38

to rely on techniques that were often criticized for being

00:41

too abstract One such technique was introspection used primarily by

00:46

wilhelm foods introspection relied on people considering their own minds

00:50

and the way in which they function But such a

00:52

process of self reporting was seen as too limited in

00:55

its scope and means of gathering information long story short

00:59

volunteers in our answer freud meanwhile was all about the

01:02

unconscious mind and how it influenced people's behaviour However you

01:06

can't exactly observe someone's unconscious mind the whole point is

01:10

that they're not directly aware of it not quite what

01:12

we're looking for so we can toss right off our

01:14

list Carl ashley is that our guy Either He theorized

01:17

that memories were stored in a specific part of the

01:20

brain a conclusion he came to after inducing localized brain

01:24

damage on rats You ran into a slight problem though

01:27

he ended up being well a wrong After experimenting on

01:30

all those rats he later found out that memories are

01:32

stored all over the cortex and slash Lee didn't have

01:36

access to the sort of technology necessary to really study

01:39

the human brain in the way he wanted teo His

01:41

experiments based on observable research were just a bust that

01:44

knocks him out of the running Oh and disclaimer no

01:47

rats were harmed in the making of this video we

01:49

can't say the same for less and we could eliminate

01:52

chomsky immediately The bulk of his work came decades after

01:55

the debate in question here and he was way nicer

01:58

the rats that leaves us with john b watts the

02:01

american psychologist who established the psychological school of b behaviorism

02:05

As the title suggests behaviorism strongly emphasized the observation of

02:10

behavior And when we take a look at the statement

02:12

in question we can fight easily Observe that it's the

02:15

answer we're looking for Now you might want to turn

02:18

this video off We hear rats are pretty kane on 00:02:21.363 --> [endTime] revenge
