Ebbinghaus did some of the first experiments in memory. 1913: behaviourism (cid:1005)(cid:1013)(cid:1004)(cid:1012): pa(cid:448)lo(cid:448)"s sali(cid:448)ati(cid:374)g dogs e(cid:454)peri(cid:373)e(cid:374)t (cid:1005)(cid:1013)(cid:1005)(cid:1007): joh(cid:374) watso(cid:374)"s (cid:373)a(cid:374)ifesto for (cid:271)eha(cid:448)iouris(cid:373) pu(cid:271)lished: held that (cid:449)e (cid:272)a(cid:374)(cid:374)ot dire(cid:272)tl(cid:455) stud(cid:455) (cid:373)e(cid:374)tal pro(cid:272)esses, o(cid:374)l(cid:455) sti(cid:373)ulus a(cid:374)d behaviour, i(cid:374) respo(cid:374)se to (cid:272)ase studies a(cid:374)d i(cid:374)trospe(cid:272)tio(cid:374, tried to (cid:373)ake a ps(cid:455)(cid:272)holog(cid:455) like ph(cid:455)si(cid:272)s. Behaviourism started to try to explain difficult things, such as language. Early 1900s: cybernetics: analog brain modeling (pre-computer) Inspired by collaboration of psychologists working with engineers and communications people in war efforts: was killed by artificial intelligence, but made a bit of a comeback with neural networks.
