Psychology today
  1. Psychometric testing
    1. Assessments of people to measure psychological attributed such as personality or intelligence
      1. Galton first measured intelligence (brain size etc)
        1. Binet developed a different approach to Galton and proposed Binet's intelligence test
          1. Used psychophysical and verbal tasks to measure mental abilities such as attention and memory
            1. Rationalist approach
              1. Terman
                1. Revised the intelligence test and it became Stanford-Binet. He saw it as a tool for eugenics (nurturing the bright and institutionalising the feeble minded)
            2. Used for officer selection
              1. Mass intelligence testing of military personnel
              2. Yerkes (1920)
                1. Suggested many of white males were morons (47.3%, IQ 51-70). He noted down worse percentages for other races (1923), noted 79-89% in black people
                  1. Led to more eugenics and it restricted immigration from certain countries
                    1. It is still a problem today, for example testing still happens in personnel selection, college admissions and courts
              3. Witmer
                1. He was interested in clinical psychology and instituted the first psychology clinic. He applied the principles of clinical psychology to treating cases related to learning difficulties
                2. Mayo
                  1. Looked at the Hawthorne effect. He looked at the effect of lighting on workers productivity, and found that any changes in environment caused an increase in productivity
                  2. Neuroscience
                    1. Looking at the computational model of the mind, the brain is the hardware, and the cognition is the software. McCullough applied this to neurons and Hebb developed a physiological basis for learning.
                      1. Studies involving frontal lobe regions, split brain studied, plasticity etc, entrenched the study of the brain in psychology
                        1. There has been developments in measurements of brain activity, such as EEG, MRI and fMRI
                        2. Personality

                            1. Heymans developed quantitative typology of personality
                              1. Ribot coined the term 'personality' in a clinical setting
                                1. Allport distinguished between idiographic and nomothetic approaches
                                2. Social psychology
                                  1. Allport studied group behaviour and worked on the study of attitudes
                                    1. Festinger studied cognitive dissonance
                                      1. Milgram and Zimbardo
                                      2. Evolutionary psychology
                                        1. The brain has evolved for certain purposes.
                                          1. The sociobiological approach looks for evolutionary causes of behaviour. (natural and sexual selection behaviour, instinctive behaviour, phylogenetic continuity)
