Psychological Approaches Psychology was founded back in 1879. Psychology is the study of the brain and how it behaves. The psychological approaches that are focused on in this report are biological, behavioral and psychodynamic psychology. This report states what each approach is about, evidence behind it, examples and theories/ideas associated. This also has real-life examples of people's lives. Overall, this report will teach you what biological, behavioral and psychodynamic psychology are.

Reflection on Ariely’s Experiments Dan Ariely’s book, Predictably Irrational, contains experiments on the concept of behavior economics. The concept of behavior economics combines both human behavior with the theory of economics to explain how humans make judgements and decisions. The study of behavior economics explores why people make irrational decisions and don’t follow the traditional theory of economics (www.investopedia.com). According to Ariely’s experiments, irrational thinking is predictable
Bilingualism has neurological benefits on one’s brain. As a matter of fact, the brains of bilinguals look and work differently than the brains of monolinguals (Nacamulli, 2015). This is because bilingualism can cause neuroplastic change to occur. According to Losin & Losin, neuroplasticity is the ability of one’s brain to form and reorganize synaptic connections (2011). Bilingualism can increase the neuroplasticity of one’s brain, as exemplified by previous research. One study followed students who
but that is false. In our society today, the opportunities and temptations to multitask are prominent. Yes, there are some advantages to multitasking, but there are many downsides to multitasking. These things include stress, less productivity, and brain restrictions. This is why multitasking is a bad habit that nobody should pick up. For the past decade, multitasking has been a big controversy whether or not it is a good thing. There are pros and cons of multitasking. It is fairly easy to
Together they conducted “The Bystander Apathy Experiment” which was influenced by the murder of Kitty Genovese to help explain or even solve the reasoning for the murder of Kitty Genovese or people in similar situations as hers. John Darley and Bibb Latané were troubled with the lethargic neighbors who had a lack of concern and reaction while witnessing the murder which is what lead the two brilliant psychologists to undergo the “Bystander Apathy Experiment.” To begin, the psychologists recruited a
Parallel Distributed Processing Model. Long-term memory is often separated into two main types of explicit, information that is consciously remembered, and implicit memory, information that is unconsciously remembered. Both of the types can be further split, with explicit memory including episodic memory, involving events or experiences, and semantic memory, memory involving concepts or facts, and with implicit memory including procedural memory which is involved in remembering tasks and skills. It is
Nazi party conducting human experiment on World War II After the end of World War II, twenty Nazi doctors were brought to the International Military Tribunal as they were accused of conducting the unethical human experiments on those victims on World War II. They were sued for the war crimes that were against humanity at the concentration camps of Sachsenhausen, Dachau, Buchenwald and Auschwitz. Hitler's intention of sponsoring a chain of inhumane experiments for asserting ideological
become impossible without memory. “Memory is the process of maintaining information over time.” (Matlin, 2005) There are many researches done by psychologist on memory in order to understand the whole process clearly and properly, but most of these experiments are carried out in a laboratory that is why most of the
Krauss, Stacy Ellenburg, and Kyoto Akimoto researched how the Facebook game “Bejewled Blitz” was used in the everyday lives of people. They introduced the fact that studies show video game benefits and that the studies benefited high brain functions (e.g reasoning, brain functioning, trail making) (Krauss, Ellenburg, Akimoto 894). They took a number of people and surveyed how they used the game and the reason they play it. Results show for the majority that 40% of the people play it for competition
