the field of psychology is the use of indirect research
methods psychologist should base all theories on observable behaviour and
hear the potential answers All right i would agree lots
and rolling All right well early psychologist didn't have the
luxury of high tech equipment that could be used to
study the brain Instead the founding fathers of psychology had
to rely on techniques that were often criticized for being
too abstract One such technique was introspection used primarily by
wilhelm foods introspection relied on people considering their own minds
and the way in which they function But such a
process of self reporting was seen as too limited in
its scope and means of gathering information long story short
volunteers in our answer freud meanwhile was all about the
unconscious mind and how it influenced people's behaviour However you
can't exactly observe someone's unconscious mind the whole point is
that they're not directly aware of it not quite what
we're looking for so we can toss right off our
list Carl ashley is that our guy Either He theorized
that memories were stored in a specific part of the
brain a conclusion he came to after inducing localized brain
damage on rats You ran into a slight problem though
he ended up being well a wrong After experimenting on
all those rats he later found out that memories are
stored all over the cortex and slash Lee didn't have
access to the sort of technology necessary to really study
the human brain in the way he wanted teo His
experiments based on observable research were just a bust that
knocks him out of the running Oh and disclaimer no
rats were harmed in the making of this video we
can't say the same for less and we could eliminate
chomsky immediately The bulk of his work came decades after
the debate in question here and he was way nicer
the rats that leaves us with john b watts the
american psychologist who established the psychological school of b behaviorism
As the title suggests behaviorism strongly emphasized the observation of
behavior And when we take a look at the statement
in question we can fight easily Observe that it's the
answer we're looking for Now you might want to turn
this video off We hear rats are pretty kane on 00:02:21.363 --> [endTime] revenge
