Lefalophodon: John B. Watson American psychologist and founder of the behaviorist movement, which emphasized rigorous laboratory experimentation and argued that instincts were unimportant, behavior patterns were learned by rote association, and consciousness could not be defined or studied objectively. Watson's approach in psychology was mirrored by Boas' school of cultural determinism in anthropology, and therefore opposed the rigid hereditarian views that underpinned the American eugenics movement. These views broke with the subjective approach of earlier psychologists like Henry James and Romanes, who had strong interests in organismic evolution. www.nceas.ucsb.edu /~alroy/lefa/Watson.html   (661 words)

Turn a Page: Dr. Robert L. Williams -- Gallaudet University Library Clark, using a simple test of showing children black dolls and white dolls and asking questions such as “which one do you want to play with?” “which doll is nice?” and “which doll is like you,” showed the profound and painful effects segregation had on the psyche of the African American child. One of the cornerstones of the case against segregation was made by by psychologist Kenneth Clark.

History News Service The prominent African-American psychologist Kenneth Clark knew this when, in February 1954, three months before the Supreme Court delivered its decision in Brown, he publicly charged the New York City public schools with giving inferior and unequal education to the city's African-American schoolchildren. What Clark was criticizing was the continued impact of de facto segregation -- that is, segregation by custom -- in the North. He was hardly the first to raise the issue of segregated schooling outside the South. www.h-net.msu.edu /~hns/articles/2004/062204a.html   (855 words)

Comparative psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Thorndike began his studies with cats, but American comparative psychologists quickly shifted to the more economical rat, which remained the almost invariable subject for the first half of the twentieth century and continues to be used. However, the broader use of the term "comparative psychology" is enshrined in the names of learned societies and academic journals, not to mention in the minds of psychologists of other specialisms, so it is never likely to disappear completely. Strictly speaking, comparative psychology ought to involve the use of a comparative method, in which similar studies are carried out on animals of different species, and the results interpreted in terms of their different phylogenetic or ecological backgrounds. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Comparative_psychology   (987 words)

William James - Biography, Chronology, and Photographs Although pragmatism had more than its share of detractors, it was also promoted by powerful allies such as the up and coming English philosopher Canning Schiller and the American educator, philosopher, and psychologist John Dewey. Just as he is acknowledged as the father of American psychology, William James is also recognized as the father of American pragmatism, an idea that he credited to Charles Sanders Peirce but which, in James's hands, became one of the prevailing philosophical movements of the 20th century. For James, pragmatism tempered empiricism with humanism; the observer, the thinker, the seeker after truth, was necessarily implicated in the process of inquiry and experimentation. www.emory.edu /EDUCATION/mfp/jphotos.html   (566 words)

John B. Watson John Broadus Watson (born January 9, 1878 near Greenville, South Carolina; died September 25, 1958 in New York City) was an American psychologist who established the psychological school of behaviorism. Naturally, he admitted that this claim was far beyond his means--noting, merely, that earlier psychologists had made such claims for decades. Watson rekindled the nature-nurture discussion by adopting a strong tabula rasa stance: he believed that children had no inborn tendencies, but rather were shaped by their environments. www.arikah.net /encyclopedia/John_B._Watson   (451 words)
