front 12 "Freudian Slip" | back 12 saying out loud something dealing with ones anxieties, conflicts, and/or desires. |
front 13 An adherent of Freud who eventually broke with him; widely remembered for his theory of the collective unconscious, or the storehouse of latent memory traces inherited from people’s ancestral past. | back 13 Carl Jung |
front 14 Structuralism | back 14 This task of psychology is to analyze consciousness into its basic elements and investigate how these are related; dependent on introspection. |
front 15 Introspection | back 15 The careful, systematic self-observation of one’s own conscious experience, such as sensations, feelings, and images. |
front 16 The task of psychology is to understand the purpose or function of behavior or consciousness, rather than its structure. | back 16 Functionalism |
front 17 Fostered the development of behaviorism and modern-day applied psychology | back 17 Functionalism |

front 22 Arguably the most influential psychologist to date. His work on operant conditioning revolutionized the behavioral movement. Humans and animals tend to repeat responses followed by positive outcomes.He extended his theoretical work to humans and most notably argued against the notion that we have free will. | back 22 B. F. Skinner |
front 23 Believed that only observable events can be studied scientifically, and studied the effects of environment/external stimuli on the overt behavior of humans and animals. | back 23 Behaviorists |
front 24 View points these psychologists shared: Watson, B. F. Skinner, and Pavlov | back 24 Behaviorists |
front 25 Believe that humans are free, rational beings with the potential for personal growth - fundamentally different from animals and study the unique aspects of human experience. This school of psychology takes the most positive view of human nature. People's behavior is governed by their self-concepts. The key is to feel better about the self and recognize one’s own inherent potential. | back 25 Humanists |
front 26 Perspective involves the study of thoughts and mental processes and believe that human behavior cannot be fully understood without examining internal mental events or how people acquire, process, and store information. This field is a recent movement in psychology that has revived the old interest in mental and conscious events. The ways people think about events surely influences how they behave. Consequently focusing exclusively on overt behavior yields an incomplete picture of why individuals behave as they do. | back 26 Cognitive theorists |
front 27 Believe that an organism’s functioning can be explained in terms of the bodily structures and biochemical process that underlie behavior. Focuses on the interrelations among the mind, body, and behavior. | back 27 Biology perspective |
front 28 Believe that behavior patterns have evolved to solve adaptive problems, and that natural selection favors behaviors that enhance reproductive success. This approach examines behavioral processes in terms of their adaptive value for a species over the course of many generations. Thus, for example, if a species is highly aggressive, because that aggression conveys a survival or reproductive advantage, those genes that promote aggressiveness are more likely to be passed on to the next generation. | back 28 Evolutionary theorists |
front 29 Theory and research to better understand the positive, adaptive, creative, and fulfilling aspects of human existence. | back 29 Positive pyschology |
front 30 Argued that the field had devoted too much attention to pathology, weakness, damage and ways to heal suffering. | back 30 Seligman |

front 35 Established in 1988 to serve exclusively as an advocate for the science of psychology since many academics/researchers felt that the APA (which represents both the scientific and professional branches) was too dominated by clinicians. | back 35 American Psychological Society |
