CHAPTER 1 PSYCHOGENESIS
Had an insight that the law of the connection between the mind and the body can be found in a statement of quantitative relation between mental sensation and material stimulus.
EX : Imagine you accidentally touch a hot stove. The physical process involves the heat from the stove stimulating nerve endings in your skin. This stimulus is then transmitted to your brain, where it is perceived as the sensation of pain.
Gustav Fechner
CHAPTER 1
He is the exponent of hormic psychology, the central idea being that there is an end or purpose which goads us to action. Human progress can only be determined in terms of “Horme” or “drive”
EX : a person might develop a habit of exercising regularly to satisfy the instinct for physical well being and health.
William McDougall
CHAPTER 1 (person)
Emphasized the role of social interactions in knowledge construction. Social constructivism turns attention to children’s interaction with parents, peers and teachers in homes, neighborhood and schools. In the ZONE OF PROXIMAL DEVELOPMENT, a student and an expert can work together on problems that the student alone could not work on successfully
EX : a child learns to solve a puzzle by observing and interacting with a parent who demonstrates the process
EX : (ZONE PROXIMAL DEVELOPMENT)
A child can solve simple math problems alone but needs to solve more complex problems. The ZPD represents the potential for learning with assistance
Lev vygotsky

CHAPTER 1 (APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY)
Focus on methods and techniques for designing experiments and analyzing psychological data. Other known as psychometricians. They develop and evaluate mathematical models for psychological tests. They also propose methods for evaluating the quality and fairness of the test
Quantitative & measurement psychologist
CHAPTER 2 (FACILITATING LANGUGAGE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN)
This view emphasizes on the role played by the parents or caregiver as the facilitators of language acquisition. Some technologies used by parents to facilitate langugage development among children are by means of playing non-verbal games, using simplified speech and rewarding or elaborating children’s own sentences to develop their communicative skills.
