Document Summary
Begins with experience: contact with participation in exposure to external or internal events to which the organism is sensitive, these events are called stimuli. Its there because of the memory component: not due to fatigue, aging, maturation, drugs, injury, or disease. Change in behaviour: experience results in actual or potential changes. Folk belief has to do with my general understanding of how the world functions. Intuitive sort of folk psychology also known as implicit or na ve psychology: highlighting everything gives you a bubba effect, makes you think that you learned everything. Plato believed that knowledge and truth can be discovered through self reflection: rationalist. Aristotle used his senses to look for truth and knowledge in the world outside of him: empiricist, we have to be able to observe events the same, regardless of who is observing these events. Socrates: dialectic method of discovering truth through conversations with fellow citizens.
