1.) In your own words, describe Descartes' "dualism" and describe determinism. You will need about two large paragraphs. (2 points) Dualism was the late René Descartes' understanding of psychology. He had the feeling that human beings were influenced by the separate reaction of mind and body. Descartes' vision makes me think of living a past life, basically where you reincarnated someone else's soul into your body. Making them two. He felt that your physical body was different from the mind and soul that possessed you to react. We still use some of Descartes' ideas in today's sayings. I used the saying “My mind tells me one thing but my heart tells me another.” As if the two had different visions or needs. Determinism is a view according to which everything has already been arranged and planned as it will be. I believe the name determinism comes from the thought that it is “predetermined” as if it were destiny or fate. React according to your internal and external environment that has already been created for you. Almost like a waterfall effect. I often use the saying “everything happens for a reason”. Which after reading about determinism, I realized that saying is the definition of a type of determinism known as metaphysical determinism. 2.) In your own words, describe, then compare and contrast the differences between structuralism and functionalism. You will need about three large paragraphs. (2 points) Structuralism is the psychology that seeks to simplify the mind to understand the big picture. It focused on an individual's mental response and simplified it. So, for an answer they would have some sort of puzzle to put together to get an explanation of why and how the answer was given... middle of the paper... second group of 12 rats administered an equivalent amount of saline (the saline is a simple salt water solution that should have no effect on rats). He then places both groups in an apparatus that monitors the amount of time the rats spend feeding. After 24 hours of monitoring the rats, he noticed that rats given methamphetamine spent much less time engaged in feeding behavior than rats given saline. What is the independent variable in this study? The amount of methamphetamine and saline used on the different groups.- What is the dependent variable in this study? The recorded time the rats spent feeding in both groups.- Which group is the control group? The second 12 rats to who was injected with the saline solution.- Which group is the experimental group? (2 points) The first 12 rats injected with methamphetamine
