  2. Psychology: The scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes

  3. Chapter 1: Introduction to Psychology • Clinical Psychology • Clinical Neuro-Psychology • Community Psychology • Counselling Psychology • Educational and Developmental Psychology • Forensic Psychology • Health Psychology • Organisational Psychology • Sport Psychology • Biological Psychology • Cognitive Psychology • Personality Psychology • Social Psychology

  4. Philosophical Roots of Psychology • 1St Philosophers: Plato, Aristotle and Socrates. • Greek philosophers proposed the mind-body problem (E.g. Do they have a relationship with one another? How do they interact? Is the mind apart of the body or body apart of the mind? Etc) • Rene Descartes introduced Dualism where he concluded the mind and body both can control and interact with one another. Before this, philosophers thought they could not control one another. • Psychologists today focus more on the mind-brain problem. • As we know the brain controls the body, therefore: does our brain interact with our mind? • Neuropsychologists are still studying these answers

  5. CLASSICAL PERSPECTIVES AND THEORIES IN PSYCHOLOGY

  6. CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVES AND THEORIES IN PSYCHOLOGY

  7. Psychology versus Psychiatry

  8. Psychology as a Science • Collects empirical evidence • Conducts experimental research follows steps of scientific research. • Is NOT a pseudoscience such as telepathy or astrology.

  9. Ethical Considerations

  10. Visual Perception

  11. Visual Perception Process

  12. CAR THRIL

  13. Proximity Figure-Ground Closure Figure-Ground Closure Similarity Closure

  14. Convergence Accommodation Retinal Disparity

  15. Interposition Relative Size Height in the Visual Field Linear Perspective Texture Gradient

  16. Shape Constancy Brightness Constancy Size Constancy

  17. Perceptual set (expectancy): Perceptual set is a predisposition or expectancy to perceive stimuli in a specific way.

  18. Many people perceive the black diamonds in this picture as forming a cube. The Gestalt principle that is most important to achieve this perception is: a) Linear perspective b) Proximity c) Simplicity d) Reversibility figure The slanting lines are used as a depth cue. The slanting lines are an example of: a) Interpositions b) Height in the visual field c) Relative size d) Linear perspective

  19. Benita plans to carry out research into different eye problems and their effects on depth perception. Benita must A. match the names of her participants with their results in her report. B. inform participants of their obligation to disclose all relevant information. C. inform participants that they are not allowed to withdraw from the research. D. ensure that her participant’s personal details are not exposed. Philip is conducting research on children who have a particular eye disorder. His theory is that children with this eye disorder are unable to perceive the Müller-Lyer illusion. He conducts a study with two groups: one group of children with the eye disorder and a second group of children without the eye disorder. The two groups are matched on age, sex and intelligence. In this research design, the group of children with the eye disorder is the ___________ group and the group of children without the eye disorder is the __________ group. A. experimental; control B. control; experimental C. random; stratified D. stratified; random

  20. Which of the following original classical perspectives of psychology is still included as a contemporary perspective to psychology? a) Socio-cultural b) Biological c) Behaviourism d) Humanism Dualism, suggested by Descarte proposes: a) The mind and body are separate entities b) The mind and body are friends c)The mind and body cannot control and interact with one another d)The mind and body can control and interact with one another

  21. Short answer questions 1/ James sustains an injury to his left eye, and has to wear an eye patch for several weeks. • Name a depth perception cue that James would be unable to use. • b. Name a non-pictorial depth cue that James would be able to use and explain how this cue would assist him to perceive depth. 2/ Describe one of the 4 contemporary theories to Psychology and how they contribute to mental processes 3/ Provide details of 3 of the 6 ethical considerations researchers must abide by when conducting research.

  22. EXAM DETAILS • 50 multiple choice questions • 18 short answer questions totalling to 50 marks • 100 marks in total. • Good Luck! 
