Methodology With the first formal experimental laboratory established in Leipzig Germany, psychology was able to be recognised as its own independent study of science. Wilhelm’s laboratory brought academics from all over, to make studies of the human mind and abnormal psychology. The population of fascinated scholars became to set a trend. Following the trend were more foundations of new laboratories in the United States.

In 1944, the "Division 14 of Industrial and Business Psychology" (Spector, 2012, p. 13) was founded in the United States, and in 1970, the name was changed, then changed again to the "Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP)" (Spector, 2012, p. 13). The SIOP is comprised of I/O psychologists who are trained scientist-practitioners. An I/O psychologist performs scientific research, and he or she also employs principles to solve problems within organizations.

Flexner was one of the great educators of the 20th century. Over 18 months Flexner visited 155 US medical schools. Medical schools continue to struggle to overcome these untowed effects of the standardization of American medical education. To the present day, accredited US medical schools strive to apply Flexner’s “uniformly and expensive” brand of medical education, though the rising costs of health care have forced many schools to make curricular compromises and to form corporate alliances as they attempt to balance academic ideals with economic and social responsibilities. Records are being kept longer and more in to
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior—the scientific study of all overt activities of the organism as well as all the internal processes that are presumed to underlie them (e.g., learning, memory, motivation, perception, and emotion)” (Pinel, 2009). 2. What is the historical development of biological psychology? “The study of the biology of behavior has a long history, but biopsychology did not develop into a major neuroscientific discipline until the 20th century.

Its immediate ancestor was the cognitive revolution of the 1970s, an explosion of psychological research into the way people think. After decades dominated by the study of observable behavior, scientists wanted a closer look at the more mysterious operation of the human brain. And the development of computers-which enabled scientists to display information very quickly and to measure minute discrepancies in reaction time-permitted a peek into the unconscious. At the same time, the study of cognition was also illuminating the nature of stereotypes themselves. Research done after World War IT-mostly by European emigres struggling to understand how the Holocaust had happened-concluded that stereotypes were used only by a particular type of person: rigid, repressed, authoritarian.
Cognitive Psychology Nicole Manuel Cognitive Psychology Psy/360 Sandy Melwuist-Reed University of Phoenix August 8th, 2009 Psychology is a growing field of study that in recent years has taken a step forward in the scientific world. Many different theories have been proposed over the years leading science to answers that society never thought would be confirmed. Dating back to ancient times, psychology was recorded, as some of the simplest questions were asked. Cognitive psychology is a branch that can be found dated back that far, but it was not until more recent decades that these theories began to be studied in a different light. Cognitive psychology may be the leading school of thought because of the questions asked,
