A Brief History of Psychology: From Plato to Pavlov
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лис 2021
- Before we dive into all the particulars of modern psychology and its research methods, we need to get a little context. When was psychology first developed, and by whom? Was it scientific at that time, or more philosophical? Who was the first to coin the term "psychologist" as a profession? There are so many figures to discuss! Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Wilhelm Wundt, Sigmund Freud, and more! Let's check out the history of psychology.

I took a my one and only psychology course freshman year of highschool. I was a dumb kid, and my teacher wasn't the best at making the content interesting (he had no classes, just made us read a textbook then do quizzes), so you could say I didn't learn a lot. It's been years since then but I've been more hungry for knowledge since I've grown.
Your channel has been a great resource: whether I'm trying to study or understand something for college; or for when I'm just trying to relax and need some light but mind-arousing content (like right now!), your channel always has something to get the job done! Thanks for the work that you do, and thanks for helping me keep that spark of learning in my life!
Thank you for sharing thoughts
Great intro to psychology, Professor Dave. Looking forward to this series. The modern tools we have today to study brain matter, brain waves, and electrochemical activity in the brain in real time have made psychology a much more meaningful field of study today than, say, even 30 years ago. When I was in college, people who said they were studying psychology for their major were practically laughed it, since it was viewed as something akin to "general studies."
dang this guy knows A LOT about the science stuff
He does research
@@younggod5230 0:00
He knows about about the science stufffff😂😂😂😂😂 that's why he explains
True 😂
I’m thoroughly enjoying this series. Thank you.
I am really grateful to you Sir for the subject taken up for discussion.
I love how you pronounced Thumoeides, sounds like the name of a sleazy new york banker
"ay Thumoeides you controllin' that brain still"
"Yeah Tommy i still control da brain, whaddya want from me, eh?"
Simply described... Thank you🙏
hello professor dave your video really helped me in deeper understanding the basics. thank you soooooo much. love from india
I don’t think I’ve ever met Pavlov but his name rings a bell
Good one
Well done Sir...
Oml I just started psychology in school this year and I didn’t like it much but after watching the video I am finding it so fascinating. Looking so forward to this series :)
Not sure but please strive aloft with amplitude: psychology often abided by "reliable pattern recognition", unfortunately after 2007 information became un-intuitive, I would thread carefully, al-trough I could plausible be erroneous.
Undesirable information sources pretenses: Autism = Intellectual Psychosis = Unnecessarily aware schizophrenic = "attacked with body controlling hardware" Wish you the best, and hope you don't get constrained by a myriad psychology's flaws.
This channel is slowly turning into an encyclopedia
And i'm here for it lol, better than any school systems that i've ever had
Thanks for this wonderful information 😊😊
Finally, my area of expertise. There's quite a lot of interesting psychological history you left out, but I understand since we'd be here forever otherwise. You did well here, keep up the good work!
Lmao who are you?
@@itchyfungus8481Who the fuck is that guy😂
Thanks for watching...thanks for information us!
Love your Chanel...Keep up the good work! Maybe you can make a Video about the history of the 'inquisition'? Greetings from germany
Thank you professor ❤
Great explanation
Thank you for this video
Can you explain who Hyman Spotnitz is and what he actually did because I almost never see him get any mentions in my psychology class, despite the fact that he did contribute, majorly to psychoanalysis and group therapy(or is he not as notable as I have read/think)?
Thank you, Professor Jesus!
This is very helpful
thank you so muchh, very helpful
Bravo ❤
Well done. I teach Intro and explain it in a similar way, without the graphics. Haha. I'll fold this in the mix for students. Keep it up.
In the end I think that the mind is the brain, and the brain is the body and if you kill the body, you kill the mind.
Great video, i think I'm going to study more psychology in the future.
You're not incorrect, I would like to add that complexity comes when the soul is introduced: as it adheres to it's own fabric of logic, it can still function with just a embedded transmogrify capsule adjacent to chemical feeding however that is a truly dishonorable approach.
I think you should mention about Lev Vygotsky also. He was a great psychologist.
I heard about him mainly in my developmental psychology class (how we change and grow over the life span).
It's very helpful
Thanks
Daveeeey
As far as my knowledge is concerned, Wilhelm Wundt is considered to be the founder of structuralism as he introduced it though I would agree that Titchner made it more popular.
Hey Dave, will you ever do a course on Philosophy?
Yes it's coming soon!
It's incorrect to say Ivan Pavlov was a behaviorist. Plavov was a physiologist who studied the digestive system. Classical Conditioning was a serendipitous discovery during that research. Later on, John B. Watson founded Behaviorism, drawing inspiration from Pavlov's results, which showed for the first time that there is an order to learning, not to mention that said results were also empirical and replicable. Watson's Methodological Behaviorism, one of many brands of Behaviorism, for those who care about the difference, was a reaction to the extreme mentalism of the time, which was bogging down psychology with irreplicable results. Kinda like today.
Exactly what I thought, but I was thinking of Skinner. It seems psychology wend from mind woo woo stuff, to actual science around the behaviorists time, back to mind woo woo today.
Although since they now study the brain, they kiind of try to make it scientific, but their presumptions and what they focus on is still totally wrong.
Hey prof. Are you really an encyclopedia? How do you teach so many subjects? Not just one
Can you provide us with some notes regarding psychology?
Can you explain about Ayurveda pseudoscience?
❤
Did plato have a pavlovian response when hearing someone ponder existence??
Dave, do you plan on doing a music theory playlist? What about like some piano fundamentals, since you’re an excellent musician?
I will indeed do that!
Ah shit I accidently watched a newly released video and now I can't binge the whole series...
Me here🤩🤯
Professor Dave you my nigga!
For functionalism you should have mentioned ma boy William James
I can't get over the fact that the philosophy guy was named Play-Doh
I can't beieve you left out BF skinner.
I feel like this was just a brief overview of the history of psychology... It wouldn't surprise me if he gets into more details about that in future videos.
@@WillPhil290 BF skinner is one of two pillar of behaviorism. In that Pavlov's work focused on the stimulus and reaction part of learning, BF skinner focused on the schedule in which learning seems to work best.
@@donchon7580 He'll probably mention him when he covers behaviorism more in depth.
@awopeturonke
This is fantastic lecture from Prof Dave. i look forward to reading the series.
The mind operates in past and future while the body is always in present.

I bet every time Pavlov heard a bell he would think of feeding his dogs.
thanks professor jesus
Awesome, bc I’ve been trying to watch Jordan Peterson lately.
Kind of a big jump from Plato to Descartes, were there really no notable ideas in those 2000s yrs?
A brief history.
I got a dumb question.
Can you instantly debunk flat Earth with only one sentence?
Gravity exists.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Gravity is a very good point but they could pull something out of their ass to explain it
@@BunnyJolf but even that pulling would only be possible through gravity LMAO
Freud....he was a great man
I think his mum would probably disagree.
I was half beginning to think he would mention Sherlock Holmes.
Dayum you know you're getting old when you realize you would legit swipe right on portraits of dudes from your textbook like Titchener on a dating app. The beard, the strong jawline, the sensible men's fashion, the academic prowess, oh it is working for me honey yes indeed.
No way you didnt talk about Carl Jung
Soulcology
I havent watched yet but i usually get disappointed. I am quitte immersed in philosophy. Yet it is nothing like what goes for philosophy. The wondering and pondering. The activity of the brain. No there are philosophy’s that require physical transformation. Physical hard labour . Just “philosiphying gets one no were. Not even complete intelectual understanding.
Why you did not add anything about Muslim philosopher?
How are there only 65 comments w 1.76 million subs …
Ooo seems like a lot of work is still needed to be done.. psychology is not fully developed
very early
I think you mistook Philosophy for Psychology. What Rene Descartes questioned does not have importance in Psychology.
Of course it does. It simply does not qualify as modern psychology. Pre-scientific attempts to explain phenomena now explained by chemistry and physics are also important, they just have to be properly contextualized.
First here 😂
Shiiiiiiit intro 😂
Is this guy smart I can't tell
the stuff about the unconscious mind influencing behaviour explains why homophobic people always take the day off work to attend gay events
These days online community obsessed with James Webb Space Telescope, astronomy topics and Parallel Universes. If you can create content with these topics, you will get a lot of likes and followers..
ok
He's already got 45 videos on Astronomy/Astrophysics and 27 videos on Modern Physics.
shut up
Big pharma and the DSM will make psychology redundant, if not already .
Has anyone done research on social economic background in regards labeling and medication.
What you have just said is utterly meaningless.
Please, don't bring Big pharma bullcrap here. Do it only on your pseudoscientific forums.
As someone who literally works for 'big pharma', any accusation of 'control' or discriminatory behavior is not only false, but really stupid. The only people who think like that are the same nutjobs that are the type to accept any and all conspiracy crap.
What does this even mean?
Daca vrei sa fi liber nu te încrede în psihologie si ceea ce este scris !
Sorry dude, you've just entered a long list of 'scientists who should stay away from history'. While some of this video is superficially correct on the idea (occasionally) there is no way you can describe anything anyone did before the mid 19th century as psychology. It simply wasn't. Not conceptually, practically or philosophically.
Leave history to the historians, and we promise we won't do stuff on chemistry.
Yeah, and I didn't call it psychology, as I clearly demarcated philosophy and psychology. Also, this was written by a psychologist, so take your baseless flex elsewhere, sweetie.
Dr. Rich, who is going to write the history of chemistry? According to your "brilliant" insight, no one. It turns out the history of chemistry is being written by chemists with some passion for history. Only chemists can describe the history of their discipline. How can your hypothetical "historian" possibly write it without understanding the science?
Like many disciplines, meaning of "psychology" has changed over time. In regards to the origins of psychology this video has a very basic commonly accepted overview of how philosophical study of mind eventually was differentiated into a separate (social?) science discipline. What exactly was wrong in any of the content?
It's very funny that this criticism entirely hinges on an issue that was completely resolved literally three minutes in.
Besides, this kind of academic gatekeeping has always been a vile poison upon the profession.

Getting ready for finals anyone? 🥲
