comparison

Marco Ponce Version 1 Year ?06-?07 CH 6 Comparison: Showing Relationships * Everyone makes comparisons. When we compare, we examine two or more items for likenesses, differences, or both. Comparison often helps us choose between alternative. Comparison also acquaints us with unfamiliar things. 6.1 Selecting items for comparison Any item you compare must share some common ground. There?s simply no basis for comparison. Any valid comparison, on the other hand, presents many possibilities. 6.2 Developing a comparison Successful comparisons rest upon ample, well-chosen details that show just how the items under consideration are alike and different. Such support helps the reader grasp your meaning. 6.3 Organizing a comparison

Psychology Chapter 1: The Evolution of Psychology Terms: Structuralism: notion that the task of psychology is to analyze consciousness into its basic elements and investigate how these elements are related; sensations/ perception (vision, hearing, and touch), feelings and images. (5) Introspection: careful, systematic self-observation of one?s own conscious experience. (5) Functionalism: belief that psychology should investigate the function or purpose of consciousness, rather than its structure. (5) Natural Selection: heritable characteristics that provide a survival or reproductive advantage are more likely than alternative characteristics to be passed on to subsequent generations and thus come to be ?selected? over time.
