Document Summary
New paradigm for understanding systems: chaos, non-linear, and self-organization. Understanding in growth, change, and development in psychological systems. The way memories are formed, the way attention affects the dynamics of human eegs, the dynamic nature of sleep, and the way connectionist models account for learning. Nonlinear dynamics: to model approach-avoidance conflicts and conditioning in animals. Self-organization and nonlinear systems: models of family systems and marital status, psychotherapy, and the role of cognitive development in psychopathology. Understanding the processes of growth, change, and development. Dynamics: study of the way in which systems change, explores the effect of various forces on the behavior of systems over time. Linear systems: the way a system changes can be modeled with two or more equations whose solutions can be combined to obtain another solution (additive) They cannot always describe what happens in natural systems. Use nonlinear equations which are not additive and therefore often difficult to solve. Often, the answer involves a pattern of solutions.
