Psychology today
- Psychometric testing
- Assessments of people to measure
psychological attributed such as
personality or intelligence
- Galton first measured intelligence (brain size etc)
- Binet developed a different
approach to Galton and
proposed Binet's
intelligence test
- Used psychophysical and verbal tasks to
measure mental abilities such as
attention and memory
- Rationalist
approach
- Terman
- 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)

- Mass intelligence testing of

- Yerkes (1920)
- 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
- Led to more eugenics and it restricted immigration from certain countries
- It is still a problem today, for example testing still
happens in personnel selection, college admissions
and courts

changes in environment caused an increase in
productivity

- Neuroscience
- 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.
- Studies involving frontal lobe regions, split
brain studied, plasticity etc, entrenched the
study of the brain in psychology
- There has been developments in
measurements of brain activity,
such as EEG, MRI and fMRI

- Personality
- Stern influenced

- Heymans developed
quantitative typology of
personality
- Ribot coined the term

- Festinger studied
cognitive dissonance
- Milgram and Zimbardo
- Allport studied group behaviour and
worked on the study of attitudes
- Evolutionary psychology
- The brain has evolved for certain purposes.
- The sociobiological approach looks for evolutionary
causes of behaviour. (natural and sexual selection
behaviour, instinctive behaviour, phylogenetic
continuity)
- The brain has evolved for certain purposes.
