PSYA01H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Spearfishing, Behavioralism, Schadenfreude
Document Summary
Physics is the study and science of how things work in the external, material work. When you first see a magician, it"s amazing. However, once the illusionist explains the process, the trick loses its magic and the nonphysical aspects. No if you consider that all the process require algorithmic processes. We sometimes give objects a soul" by personifying it. Ex: oh, it was my car that drove too fast, i just tried to slow him down! Nowadays, society would not believe that to be true, since we view it as a physical act, not spiritual. It wasn"t until rene descartes that human started being interested in studying humans. Descartes moved to france due to some psychological issues, where he took interest in statues in the garden. He was fascinated when he noticed that the statues moved (science of hydraulics, where a pressure plate set rails to move once it was stepped on).
