Document Summary

To actions that we can observe directly and to inner processes (mental events) such as thought s, feelings, images, and physiological reactions. While studying these behaviors, they take into account biological, individual, and environmental factors. Basic research- the quest for knowledge purely for its own sake: goals are to describe how people behave and to identify the factors that influence or cause a particular type of behavior. Applied research- designed to solve specific practical problems: often uses principles discovered in basic research to solve practical problems. Jigsaw program- this program requires children to cooperate with each other rather than compete against one another in order for any of them to succeed. Illustration for the relation between basic and applied science. Related in the sense that: if we understand the causes of a behavior and know when the causal factors are present or absent, then we should be able to successfully predict when the behavior will occur.
