Download or read book The Principles of Psychology written by William James and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Principles of Psychology is a two-volume introduction to the study of the human mind. Based on his classroom lessons and first published in 1890, James has gathered together what he feels to be the most interesting and most accessible information for the beginning student. Psychology, according to James, deals with thoughts and feelings as its facts and does not attempt to determine where such things come from. This would be the realm of metaphysics, and he is careful to avoid crossing over from science into philosophy. This first volume contains discussions of the brain, methods for analyzing behavior, thought, consciousness, attention, association, time, and memory. Anyone wanting a thorough introduction to psychology will find this work useful and engaging. American psychologist and philosopher WILLIAM JAMES (1842-1910), brother of novelist Henry James, was a groundbreaking researcher at Harvard University and one of the most popular thinkers of the 19th century. Among his many works are Human Immortality (1898) and The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature (1902).
Download or read book Principles of Psychology written by Marc Breedlove and published by Sinauer Associates Is. This book was released on 2015-01-02 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organized around four well-established core principles, Principles of Psychology provides students with a framework to understand the science of behavior. Written in a conversational style, the text is organized around the following four well-established principles that serve as touchstones for the field of psychology: --The mind is a process at work in a physical machine, the brain. --We are consciously aware of only a fraction of our mental activity. --We constantly modify our behavior, beliefs, and attitudes according to what we perceive about the people around us. --Experience physically alters the structure and function of the brain. With these four principles as a framework for the text, Principles of Psychology emphasizes that psychology is a science through discussion of relevant big-picture and proven concepts and cutting-edge research-based investigations that examine behavioral, psychological, and neuroscience experiments. By presenting data and facts from other scientific disciplines, as well as real-world vignettes and stories, Marc Breedlove teaches the reader how to think critically and scientifically about the underlying mechanisms of behavior. In-Text Features --Vignette Each chapter begins with a story, an instance when behavior has a big impact on someone's life. The chapter returns to the vignette several times as we cover findings that relate to that particular case. --Researchers at Work In every chapter, important discoveries are explained and illustrated to highlight the process of experimentation and hypothesis testing. Over the course of the book, the progression of experiments provides an increasingly sharper picture of the factors shaping behavior. --Skeptic at Large Intended to sharpen the student's critical thinking skills, these boxes explore a widespread misconception and demonstrate how scientific research disproves it. The exploration of scientific experimentation also reinforces the Researchers at Work feature. --Psychology in Everyday Life These are topics where knowledge of psychology might be applicable to everyday life, such as whether people with schizophrenia are violent, the importance of "blind" auditions for musicians, how to stop smoking, or how conditioned taste aversion might cause you to stop eating sushi when you used to love it. --The Cutting Edge Just prior to the end of every chapter, this feature explores an exciting report of current research. Showing students these vibrant and bold experiments will emphasize that psychology research remains alive and well. --Think Like a Psychologist: Principles in Action To close each chapter, each principle is related back to the vignette to show the student that when they observe an interesting behavior they can recall and apply the four principles. If they can do this, they will indeed be thinking like a psychologist.

Book excerpt: "In completing our survey of psychological phenomena we are more than ever convinced of the correctness of the hypothesis we are testing. We deem it fairly well demonstrated that both the origin and the operation of psychological facts are summed up and completed in the interactions between psychological organisms and the objects stimulating them. In Chapter XXVII we have attempted to show how these interactions, in connection with the general conditions associated with them, exhaust the phenomena of the development and operation of psychological facts. As we have indicated in the Preface (of Volume I), our hypothesis has been applied not only to phenomena ordinarily considered in psychological treatises, but to some which are seldom handled and to others which are handled not at all. In this connection we may call attention in the present volume to Chapters XVII, on Wishing and Desiring; XX, on Intellectual Responses; XXIII on Language; XXIV, on International Behavior, and XXX, on Psychopathic Conduct. For these chapters we make the claim, perhaps not immodestly, that in their treatment of the activities of persons in contact with the surrounding stimuli we have given for the first time an adequate presentation of the data involved as distinctly psychological phenomena. Also in observing strictly the actual behavior of individuals we have isolated distinct differences between Thinking and Problem Solving (XXI), and Reasoning Responses (XXII) . If psychological phenomena are actually stimulus-response interactions, we appreciate in consequence all the more keenly the incompleteness with which much of the material has had to be handled. Our descriptions could hardly be detailed enough to bring out the fundamental facts involved in the operation of the various types of behavior. Accordingly we merely offer suggestions and do not in any sense exhaust the necessary details. On the other hand, those who consider scientific descriptions to be necessarily abstract may find some cause for complaint in the concreteness of our handling of the various subjects. Our study indicates very forcibly that the data of the psychology when treated as natural phenomena can be esteemed only as the very intimate and detailed facts of stimulus-response interactions. It may be added, too, that whatever such detailed and concrete descriptions may lack in the appearance of profundity is, we believe, more than compensated by the validity of the descriptions and the understanding they afford of psychological phenomena"--Foreword.

This book, or parts thereof, must not be reproduced in any form without permission of the publisher. 647-12 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA E-50005 EDITORS INTRODUCTION Psychologists have been ardent professionals, an eager, easily converted lot. No wonder the cry is often heard among them There is news in the land of Babel, meaning Here now is the psychology So it has come about that there are mechanisms of automatic defense against the asserted exclu siveness and the propaganda of behavior theorists. Chief among them is undoubtedly negative adaptation or, as the authors of this book would have it, with greater illumination, absence of reinforcement. I grant the serviceableness of such defenses in preserving common sense and healthy skepticism, yet I am sorry for the psychologist who misses this out-of-the-ordinary textbook. He may be one whose own work lies far afield. But no matter what that work may be, it would enhance his vision and build his morale to know that it has been possible already to dem onstrate, operationally and therefore beyond challenge, so much lawfulness of behavior on the single assumption that all the features of learned behavior are but the routes, straight routes and detours, down which an organism has been baited. He might quibble over the excessive use of rats and balk at the extrapolations to higher behavior, but he could not deny massive facts that stick. I especially congratulate you, the thoughtful student, whose first or early exposure to psychology is through this book. Its use as a text is a guarantee that you have an instructor who knows that the basis of every science lies not in talk and proof by say-so, but in experimental methods. At best you are going to learn psychological science by your own sciencing, in a laboratory. If circumstances deny that privilege, your instruc tor will still see to it that you get the next best by perfectly feasible demonstrations in the classroom. Finally, if this book vi EDITORS INTRODUCTION arouses in you the tingling enthusiasm that in an earlier form it has plainly evoked in many students, you are on your way to insights of the greatest value. They will be of use to you whether you become a psychologist, teacher, lawyer, sales man, philosopher, doctor, or just a person who feels the need to see beneath the seeming chanciness of human behavior. RICHARD M. ELLIOTT PREFACE This book is a new kind of introduction to psychology. It is different in that it represents for the first time a point of view that is coming to guide the thinking and research of an active group of psychologists in this country. The members of this group are mainly experimentalists, laboratory workers, who spend much of their time in observing and measuring the behavior of organisms rats, dogs, guinea-pigs, apes, pigeons, and, of course, human beings. They are unflaggingly on the lookout for fundamental principles of behavior principles that hold true for the white rat as well as the college student, for the dog in laboratory harness as well as the patient on the psychoanalysts couch, for the tribal savage as well as the sophisticated product of our ownculture. Already they have discovered some of these principles and have brought them together in the beginnings of scientific theory. Other principles are, at present, only suspected, and the search goes on at an ever faster pace. In this book, we try to tell about the ones of which we are certain we describe some of the research they are based on and we point out the way in which they may be organized to give a meaningful picture of human conduct. We hope that something of interest and use, perhaps even something of adventure, will be found in our account...
