Question 13

• Thinking substance. This takes up no space, the "soul" or the "spirit" because it has no physical mass . This is where thinking comes from: doubting, understanding, confirming, denying, wanting, refusing, and kind of like activities. Also called: 'free will'.
• Substance that takes up space. The body: res extensa. The characteristics of the body are measurable and calculable according to Descartes. (see Harvey's discovery of the circulatory system). Not only reflexes such as the 'knee reflex', 'digestion', 'breathing', 'yawning', but also 'perceiving', 'memory', 'feelings', 'drifting'.
• Descartes is a dualist. According to him there is one: According to Descartes, man is more than just a machine! After all, man is not merely a machine (with causal connections, and laws, determined by cause and effect), but also consists of a substance that does not work according to the laws of a mechanism! So man has a free will! (This idea of individual freedom also fitted seamlessly into a market society where the 'individual' started to play an ever greater role.) Man is thus an autonomous individual, who finds the basis of his moral action in himself. What did this mean for psychology? This definition has a long time clearly defined what the research was object of psychology. The issues that were based on the functioning of the res extensa or 'machine' in man were the research object of medicine. The things that were allowed to write to the psyche (res cogitans) were the research object of psycholgy. Also, with the dualism of Descartes ('there are two substances') the mind-body problem has arisen, which is still a problem in psychology.

Question 14

Descartes as a rationalist, according to him, can gain undoubted knowledge with our minds. As in mathematics, he reasons from axioms. That is why there are two groups of indisputable knowledge:

• congenital unquestionable knowledge (compare with the axioms of mathematics)
• reasoned undoubted knowledge (ie the propositions reasoning from the axioms according to the deductive method)

But how does he arrive at that congenital unquestionable knowledge? How does he know that his axioms are 'true'? To this end, he did the famous doubt experiment. Descartes threw everything he doubted overboard. He tried to convince the skeptics. Skeptics think that unquestionable knowledge does not exist. Against empiricism they are imply that the world is changing every day so that are not a solid foundation for knowledge. They question the axioms against rationalism: they are not provable. Descartes thought that unquestionable knowledge was what he was absolutely certain. During the doubt experiment, Descartes was certain of a thing: the fact that he was doubting. And because he had doubts he had to exist, he reasoned: 'cogito ergo sum'. Later he also added other 'certainties', for example' the existence of God ',' the reliability of mathematics' and 'what we see is real '.

Question 15

According to Hobbes, people act on what they give 'pleasure'. That is therefore very individualistic. Too individualistic, according to Hobbes. In the natural state are therefore wolves for each other. The solution is the social contract that must be under the supervision of an absolute monarch. According to Descartes, man is an individual, because he is autonomous in his thinking. 'Cogito ergo sum', I think, so I am. Man is also responsible for gaining knowledge.

Question 16

Descartes believed that by using your mind you could come to indisputable knowledge. This undoubted knowledge is partly derived from innate knowledge and partly from deductively reasoned knowledge. He designed the doubt experiment to prove the undoubted knowledge. Because he believes in innate knowledge, Descartes is on the nature side of the nature-nurture discussion. Locke did not believe in innate knowledge. If there are generally accepted principles, logical laws, why not think about it, he thought. According to Locke, knowledge comes from experience. He is therefore on the nurture side of the debate.

Question 15

Realism: The reality is according to Kant, the cause of the sensations received by the senses.

Empiricism: According to Kant, sensory data is the basis for knowledge.

Rationalism: These sensory data are processed by a-priori schemes (space / time and categories).

Without these schemas we would not be able to understand the world and thus form a necessary step in the formation of knowledge.

Idealism: The frameworks (space / time) and categories create two realities:

• The 'real' reality, Kant calls this 'thing an sich',
• and reality as we experience it, reality transformed by the frameworks and categories.

Question 16

Muller states firstly that we do not do objects and events in the outside world directly, but that we are dependent on what our nerves offer us. Our nerves therefore mediate between the objects and the consciousness, and we depend on their capacity. Secondly, the same stimulus that occurs to different senses, which results in the perception belonging to different senses: a sun beam can, for example, lead to the perception of heat (skin) and of light (eyes). Then it is also true that it does not matters for the observing of a stimulus whether it comes from inside or outside. This makes it impossible to know the 'real' objective reality. In Kant's philosophy we also see two different realities: The 'real' reality, Kant calls this 'thing an sich', andthe reality as we experience it: reality transformed by the frameworks (space / time) and categories.

Question 8

Wundt thought that higher mental processes such as language and thinking were not susceptible to experimental research, even with his objectified introspection. This was because these processes develop in a social process and belong to a certain culture. Therefore they can only be studied on the basis of products of that culture. In the production of a culture you can think of things like language and jurisprudence.

Question 9

Ebbinghaus wanted to investigate the capacity of the memory. By using meaningless syllables he avoided associations that could facilitate the learning process. If he had used meaningful, existing associations, he could not say anything about learning new material, and existing associations differ per person.

Question 10

Central to Köhler's learning theory is the concept of "insight" (the more or less sudden reorganization). of the entire perceptual field); this is a central mental process. In Thorndike's theory of learning, it involves initial "trial and error" behavior that results in a peripheral connection between an S and an R, reinforced by the reward (Law of Effect).

Question 11

Functionalism emphasizes the coherence between the psychic and the physical, none of the two more important, it is about how they relate to each other.

Question 6

Watson writes in his book 'Behavior' that images and thoughts:

1. Can be studied with improved methods of introspection
2. Rather must be studied in a historical and ethnographic manner in a scientific way
3. Unobservable processes, which have no place in scientific psychology
4. Can be studied and interpreted as a muscle and gland response or low level

Question 11

In operant conditioning (Skinner) the response changes; new behavior is therefore learned which complements the classic conditioning where only the S changes.

Question 12

What changes is the stimulus, the response remains the same. Conditioning is therefore stimulus substitution: a change in the environment, responsible for the occurrence of the R (conditio = condition, conditioning is therefore checking the conditions under which the behavior occurs). In Marshall Hall's definition of reflex, it was only an unchangeable, unconditioned reflex (a definite S together with a definite R).

Question 13

Empiricism in Watson's behaviorism: the environment (the world) takes care of it through the senses behaviour; admittedly it is no longer about thoughts and ideas (as in empiricism) from eg Locke), but behavior due to environmental factors (S> R). Watson's positivism it appears from his banishment of "unobservables": all mental terms are either meaningless, either must be operationalized: translated into observation terms or statements. With fear is nothing but fear behavior.

Question 14

With James there is still a feeling, a mental processing, of physiological or physical factors in an environment (O> G> M). With Watson it is only about behavior as a result of environmental factors (O> G).
