Document Summary

William james is best known for his book entitled, principles of psychology . He divided habit, association, and memory into separate chapters and later described habit and memory as being precursors to this idea of declarative and non-declarative memory. James brought forward was the idea that conscious experience requires memory. He described the memory system as having two levels: primary memory, which are involved in consciousness, and secondary memory, which comprises our permanent record of the past. These two levels were later called short-term and long-term memory. Edward thorndike was one of the first psychologists to perform systematic experiments on the learning process. Through the use of stimuli, as input, and recording the response; output, Thorndike later extended his research to study animal learning. Pavlov was the first scientist to demonstrate that salivation can be evoked by a previously neutral stimulus after it has been paired with an effective stimulus.
