The science that deals with mental processes and behavior.\nClassics in the History of Psychology\n\n\nChristopher D. Green, York University, Toronto, Ontario\n\n\nIntroduction to:\n"New Methods for the Diagnosis of the Intellectual Level of Subnormals."\nAlfred Binet & Theodore Simon (1905).\n\nHenry L. Minton, University of Windsor\n\n© 1998 Henry L. Minton\nAll rights reserved.\n\nSir Francis Galton, who pioneered the study of individual differences in the late nineteenth century, was the first to attempt to measure intelligence. Following in the tradition of British empiricism, Galton believed that intelligence was a function of sensory acuity. Thus, individuals who exhibited high degrees of sensory discrimination were assumed to be highly intelligent. Moreover, because sensory acuity reflected native endowment, individual differences in intelligence were assumed to be primarily a function of heredity. In support of his hereditarian views, Galton had argued in his 1869 book, Hereditary Genius, that high levels of intellectual achievement followed genealogical lines; that is, eminent fathers tended to have eminent sons. In 1888, Galton set up an "anthropometric laboratory" in which he used such measures of sensory discrimination as visual acuity, auditory accuracy, and breathing capacity to assess levels of intelligence. Galton's efforts were followed up in the United States by psychologist James McKeen Cattell. Cattell coined the term, "mental tests" to refer to Galtonian measures. By 1901, however, after a series of studies by Cattell and his students that showed no relationship between sensory discrimination and indices of intellectual performance (academic grades), the Galtonian approach to measuring intelligence was generally abandoned. It appeared as though the "mental testing movement" was at an end.\n\nIt was against this backdrop of Galtonian measurement that Alfred Binet began his work on intelligence scales. Binet was a leading French psychologist with diverse interests in hypnosis, thinking, and individual differences. In contrast with Galton's use of sensory discrimination, Binet had argued in the 1890s that individual differences in intelligence had to be detected through measures of such complex processes as memory, imagination, attention, comprehension, and suggestibility. In 1904, Binet was appointed by the French minister of public instruction to a commission concerned with the problem of retardation among public schoolchildren in Paris. The early twentieth century was a period of time, both in Western Europe and North America, when public education was rapidly expanding in urban centers, a reflection of the increasing effects of urbanization and industrialization. School administrators turned to social scientists for expertise in reorganizing schools for more efficient classroom management. Such issues as how to handle slow learners was thus of paramount importance to educators.\n\nIt was clear to the commission that in order to address the problems of retarded children, special education programs had to be developed. It was therefore necessary to devise a means of identifying retarded children. Binet thus set about developing a scale that could differentiate those children who were slow learners from those who were able to keep pace with the level of instruction (normal children). He collaborated with Théodore Simon, a young physician who had worked with retarded children. Binet and Simon proceeded to assemble a scale composed of measures of the kinds of higher mental processes that Binet had argued were central to the assessment of intelligence. They constructed some of the specific cognitive tests themselves but they also modified a number of tests that had been developed by two French physicians, Drs. Blin and Damaye. Binet and Simon drew samples of "normal" children and children thought to be retarded from schools, hospitals, orphanages, and

got this off sparknotes, maybe it will help\n\n\nPerception\nTen of The Chosen’s eighteen chapters conclude with references to eyes, seeing, watching, looking, or listening. Perception and vision is the novel’s dominant motif, bridging the entire text from Reuven’s eye injury at the beginning to the final passage, in which Reuven watches Danny walk away after perceiving an “almost blinding” “light” in Danny’s eyes. Vision in the novel symbolizes the ability to see the world, to see oneself, and to see beneath the surface and into the heart of a matter. As Danny and Reuven mature over the course of the novel, they develop clearer pictures of themselves and of the world around them.\nAfter Reuven’s eye accident, he remarks that “everything looks different.” His experience in the hospital gives him a newfound appreciation of his own health. Later, his friendship with Danny teaches him to look beyond superficial appearances. Their friendship broadens and deepens Reuven’s perception of the world and allows him to relate to and empathize with others’ suffering.\nAs the novel progresses, Potok focuses on other senses besides vision. In Chapter 7, Reb Saunders scolds Danny for hearing but not listening. When Danny reads in the library, he covers his ears to block out sound. As Danny’s friendship with Reuven develops, he learns to be a better listener. As a result of Danny’s experience with silence—which parallels Reuven’s experience with blindness—Danny learns to appreciate words. Furthermore, Reuven’s development is apparent in his descriptive language, which becomes more specific throughout the novel. As he becomes more aware of the world around him, his descriptions become more detailed, displaying Reuven’s improved command of his senses. The novel’s final passage mentions four of the five senses, showing the development both Reuven and Danny have experienced over the course of the novel.

This book is a classic enthnographic text that needs to be read by all those who are interested in revealling the social forces that shapes our lives as a people living under this last state of Capitalism, that others call a Globalised world. Even though Paul Willis was looking at Working class kids in England, I have found the application of his methodology applicable even in the context of a post Apartheid state like South Africa where we talk of the "historically disadvantaged learner" as an eupermism for the same phenomenon that Willis has studies.\n\nNice light reading matter there.

I don't know why someone would tell you to go get a book... that isn't in the spirit of this web site at all....\nPsychology is the study of the human mind,  it encompasses emotions, cognitive ability, structure, and chemistry. at the very least.  The word Psychology is derived from the Greek for study of the soul.  The science of Psychology began in the study of physiology.  People began to wonder about perception and why things seem the way they do to us.  It has since branched out into many different arenas and form.  These would include, but not be limited to... Abnormal, cognitive, developmental, experimental, behavioral, industrial and organizational psychology.

Hogen, a Chinese Zen teacher, lived alone in a small temple in the country. One day four traveling monks appeared and asked if they might make a fire in his yard to warm themselves.\n\nWhile they were building the fire, Hogen heard them arguing about subjectivity and objectivity. He joined them and said: "There is a big stone. Do you consider it to be inside or outside your mind?"\n\nOne of the monks replied: "From the Buddhist viewpoint everything is an objectification of mind, so I would say that the stone is inside my mind."\n\n"Your head must feel very heavy," observed Hogen, "if you are carrying around a stone like that in your mind."

There are a number of good books, but I think which one you will enjoy is largely dependent on your background in neurobiology.  There are, however, some books that deal with the problem of a more understandable level, in case you have no training in the field.  Of those I would recommend Oliver Sacks' "The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat".  Sacks is a neurologists who describes some of his most interesting cases.  Aside from the insight you will get into mental diseases and brain functions, what is more Sacks writes with real compassion for his patients.  There are also the books by Joseph LeDoux ("The Emotional Brain"; "Synaptic Self") and Antonio Damasio ("Descartes' Error"; "The Feeling of What Happens").  LeDoux and Damasio address such important questions as emotions, feelings, and self-consciousness.  All of these books are a fun read even if you are not a biologist.  \n\nHope that helps.

Unfortunately, for mind readings to work really well there needs to be evidence of a correctly functioning brain. It's difficult to read what's not there.\n\nBy the way, this will also make your offer to reciprocate (that means - to do the same or equal to someone else) is redundant.\n\nI've just read Ms Confused below - don't worry, you're not the only one who suffers in the "help, brain missing" department.
