 Socrates & Plato Argued that the mind is separate from the body Dualism: the belief that the mind is separate from the body Knowledge is innate (born within us) GREEK PHILOSOPHERS  Aristotle Loved data & wrote about many topics (dreams, sleep, senses, memory…) Argued that knowledge grows from experiences stored in our memories Laid foundation for the Scientific Method

THE ENLIGHTENMENT  John Locke “Tabula Rasa”=blank slate, humans are born knowing nothing Everything is learned, nothing is innate All knowledge comes from experience Empiricism: knowledge is acquired through observation & experience

BIRTH OF PSYCHOLOGY  Wilhelm Wundt-1879 University of Leipzig Reaction time experiment Psychology’s first experiment, birth of a science Established first psychology lab Introspection (looking inward)
