Describe Donder’s experiment and rationale behind it, and Ebbinghaus’s memory experiments. What do Donders’s and Ebbinghaus’s experiments have in common?(2)
Although, there was no field called cognitive psychology during the 19th century, Donders and Ebbinghaus were referred to as cognitive psychologists because both of their experiments dealt with the studying of the mind. Donder’s experiment focuses on a person’s Reaction-time in order

Ebbinghaus was precisely known for conducting memory experiments by using nonsense syllables, and from the results of those experiments, he postulated a unitary view of learning and memory. However, Endel Tulving, provided evidence from Ebbinghaus’ original research that there existed discernible kinds of learning and memory. Prior to his experiment, Tulving received some scathing criticism on his stance regarding Ebbinghaus’ research, but he averred that there was no intention to derogate its concept (Slamecka, 1985; Tulving, 1985). Rather, Tulving’s experiment emanated from Ebbinghaus’ original research to address implications that would supplement knowledge about the psychological science of memory.
In this essay, the author
- Explains that ebbinghaus' work on memory performance contributed astonishing knowledge to the field of scientific psychology and enthralled several succeeding researchers and psychologists.
- Explains that tulving's proposition was that there was a dissociation of memory that could be extrapolated from ebbinghaus' research.
- Analyzes how tulving concluded that episodic memory was dissociable from semantic memory when examining the participants' recollective experience of the task.
- Explains the ebbinghaus method of examining memory thoroughly. in the first exercise, they learned a list of 10 non-words, and took 30 minute breaks before relearning the list.
- Compares their conclusions to tulving's experiment, which emphasized the difference between semantic and procedural knowledge and episodic memory. lack of general knowledge of non-words made the experiment a cumbersome process.

In this essay, the author
- Describes the cognitive revolution in psychology during the 1950s and 1960s, which involved radical changes to consciousness and causality, and abolished traditional science values of dichotomy and worship of atomisation.
- Explains the purpose of the essay, which is to give an account of what constitutes the cognitive revolution, and assess the contributions that it has made to the scientific study of psychology.
- Explains that the cognitive revolution represents a diametric turn around in the century's old treatment of mind and consciousness in science, such as the contents of conscious experience.
- Explains that cognitivism returned the conditioning theory and comparative psychology to a position where they recognized there were qualitative differences between the psychological processing of humans and animals.
- Explains that most behaviourists allowed theoretical terms to be introduced into their study only if they were ideally, rigidly and exhaustively defined through laws relating stimulus inputs to internal states and internal state to behavioural outputs.
- Explains that a theory or hypothetical construct must have "surplus meaning" which is often created via theoretical models and analogies. this allows scientists to introduce meaningful descriptions of inter-subjectivity of unobservable phenomena.
- Explains how the idea of "electric charge" was extended to theories in cognitive psychology, such as the computational theory of problem solving by alan newell, clifford shaw and herbert siman.
- Argues that theoretical definitions of words such as cognitive heuristics, inference, long and short term memory e.t.c. have been circulated over time in cognitive literature, but they are virtually nonexistent.
- Explains that the revolution led to the rejection of the behaviourist restriction of psychology to observable human behaviours.
- Compares the cognitive approach to behaviourism, where the focus is on functional models and information processing, while the latter is less interested in the process between stimuli and response.
- Explains that clinical psychology uses problem resolution and modification of attributions and beliefs. rational-emotive therapy benefits from the cognitive approach and is based on the premise that people cognitively interpret the world around them constantly.
- Explains that cognitive psychology has become one of the prominent schools of psychology, surpassing even behavioural psychology. the development of computers provided scientists with a new metaphor for conceptualizing how the mind works.
- Explains that the act of choosing is the most important element of processes, such as reasoning, decision making, and problem solving, which are central to cognitive psychology.
- Argues that the revolution helped in lifting the veil on the discussion of animal cognition thereby leading to an increase in studies involving animals. the contribution to current advances in learning and instructions is due to the methodology used in cognitive psychology.
- Explains that the analogy of the mind as a computer programme provided the basis for cognitive psychology's new epistemology. this was the mathematical theory of computability that lies behind the computer.
- Explains that the revolution in education has led to a more detailed account of the description of mental representations and processes that underlie expert performance.
- Concludes that the cognitive revolution has led to the development of rich detailed descriptions of the mental representations and processes that underlie performance in many school-related subject matter areas.
- Describes the works of roberts, gosling, and craik.
- Opines that the free library should have thought about the consequences of the crisis of cognitivism and a second chance for behavior analysis.

They are similar because in the field of forensic psychology studies that were conducted by Cattell and Stern both have to do with memory.

Relying on introspection to get at the nature of our experience, the early philosopher's excursions into these realms were necessarily highly subjective and were not concerned with biological or anatomical functionality. With the popularity of behaviorism in the early 1900's, mainstream psychologists avoided reference to such issues. The development of cognitive psychology pushed internal processes to the forefront, and examined them by utilizing behavioral indicators to theorize about the underlying concepts of thinking and consciousness (1).
In this essay, the author
- Explains how the brain's function in the human body involves examining how inputs and outputs are generated. while sensory perception and motor output can be directly traced along neuronal pathways, science is still struggling to understand the roots of internal, intangible processes.
- Explains that the development of cognitive psychology pushed internal processes to the forefront, and examined them by utilizing behavioral indicators.

- Explains that the pva shows greater activation when the subjects visualize an image than when they actually see the image.

- Explains that several studies have contradicted kossyln's findings in that they found no indication of pva activation during mental imagery.
