Historical development to the present day . The people influential in its development Dr Carl Ransom Rogers (1902-1987) and American Psychologist was the founder of Person Centred Counselling back in the 1950’s born in Oak Park Illinois. Rogers attended Teachers College at Columbia University where he engaged in child study.

With the years’ experience of working with troubled children, Rogers was influenced in constructing his client-centred approach by the post-freudian psychotherapeutic practice of Otto Rank.
Foundations of Psychology Paper PSY/300 Psychology is made up of numerous schools of thought, structuralism, functionalism, psychodynamic, behaviorist, cognitive, and evolutionary. All of these schools of thought have different assumptions which sometimes offer contradicting facts and sometimes offer facts which compliment each other (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). In this paper the six schools of thought found within psychology and their major assumptions will be discussed, along with the primary biological foundations of psychology which are linked to behavior. The first school of thought in psychology is structuralism. Structuralism was developed by a man named Edward Titchener who was a student of Wilhem Wundt.

The Psychological Development of Dave Pelzer PSY/300 July 22, 2011 Ashley Dolecki The Psychological Development of Dave Pelzer Whenever a discussion of psychology occurs, the topic of nature versus nurture eventually arises. Psychologists, philosophers, and scientists have debated the nature versus nurture viewpoints for many decades. Research, studies, and interviews have raised many questions and brought about a multitude of theories concerning this topic. Developmental psychology strives to answer why an individual develops the personality and behaviors he or she eventually manifests as an adult. Developmental psychology examines the influences and theories of personality development.
The first SAT was given in June 1926 and administered by the College Board who still runs the test today. Over the years the SAT proved able to foreshadow a student’s ability to perform academically in college. Because of this Brigham suggested the SAT should be an aptitude test and not a mental ability test. ( Widening, 2005) It was not until the 1950s that he SAT’s become an important element in the college admissions process. The President of Harvard University at the time, James Conant thought the SAT could be used to distinguish between students who could benefit from a college education from those who lacked abilities.
While at Northwestern, Hall attended classes with a fellow student named Carroll L. Griffith who would later go on to become the founder of Griffith Laboratories. After graduation, Hall earned a graduate degree from the University of Chicago. Hall was soon hired by the Western Electric Company through a telephone interview. When he showed up for his first day, however, he was told by a personnel officer that "we don't take niggers." Recovering from this slight, he began working for the Chicago Department of Health as a chemist and was promoted in 1917 to senior chemist.
Moore also states that “Brown and Keeley define critical thinking as ‘reacting with systematic evaluation to what you have heard or read’ (2000, p.2).” (2010) According to Becoming a Master Student, Author Ellis says that “A psychologist named Benjamin Bloom named six levels of thinking. He called them a taxonomy of educational objectives- basically, a list of different goals for learning. Each level of thinking calls for asking and answering different kinds of questions.” (Ellis, 2015). There are 6 levels, however, it is only at the 5th level that “involves genuine critical thinking. At this level you agree with an idea, disagree with it, or suspend judgment until you get more information.
