    1. Wundt - a German physician/ psychologist who establi8shed the first psychology lab in 1975 and founded the Institute of Experimental Psychology in 1979
      1. introspection- act of examining your own thoughts and feelings. Wundt trained his researchers to self examine but the results were not comparable and reliable because the researchers were bias and produced results they thought were useful in the experiment(subjective)
      2. is psychology a science?
        1. involves scientific methods to measure behavior to a certain extent. Psychology is part of Biology(brain) and it uses scientific data and hypothesis

              1. Pavlov used the salivation experiment in dogs. He paired the bell with food
                1. unconditioned stimulus: food, Unconditioned response: salivation, Conditioned stimulus(neutral stimulus that produces new response):bell, conditioned response:salivation
                2. animals learn in the same way as humans. Behavior is learnt from the environment. We are born in a blank slate and behavior is not influenced by genes
                3. operant-behavior is learnt from consequences
                  1. reinforcements are used to strengthen a behavior and can be positive which involves rewarding after a good thing is done or negative where an unpleasant stimulus is taken away. punishments involve presenting something that an organism does not like.
                    1. Skinner-behavior is shaped and maintained through consequences. positive reinforcement when the rat pulled the lever and food was dispensed, punishment was when it received an electric shock, negative reinforcement when he pressed the lever to stop the electrical shock.
