1st Psychological Experiment EVER–Reaction time experiment.. Testing
the ‘atoms of the mind’
![Page 9: Myers’ Psychology for AP* - Ms. Carey's Website](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013001/61cb4078cb9a625fac4a224e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
After 1879… Two Schools of Thought Emerged
How to study human behaviour?? 1) Structuralism2) Functionalism
Scientists had to keep an open mind. Do the facts support the evidence or are they just making it up?
Three Basic Attitudes helped make modern science possible: 1) Curiosity- does it work? Can it be tested & confirmed?
2) Skepticism- what do you mean? How do you know? 3) Humility- be willing to be surprised, & follow new ideas
