Question 2: The theoretical function of theoretical psychology The non-empirical nature of theoretical psychology does not hinder the contribution to psychological science. Its role in psychological science has several aspects. First of all, theoretical psychology has the function of making assumptions or making predictions and providing research topics for experimental psychology. As early as 1960s, K., a philosopher of science, expounded the leading role of theory in scientific research. He pointed out that scientific knowledge does not start from experience, but from problems; Theory precedes empirical observation and guides empirical observation. Because scientific observation is purposeful and selective, scientific researchers always observe things with an expected theory. All observations and experiments are carried out under the guidance of certain theories, and theoretical psychology has this function. It puts forward a theory or hypothesis or predicts the result of an experiment. These assumptions and predictions are also the research topics of experimental psychology. An unsuccessful example is Hull's hypothesis-deduction theory system. Based on postulate, Hull deduced more than 100 theorems and hypotheses. Although the later verification was unsuccessful, his contribution to providing materials for experimental research is undeniable. Secondly, the logical analysis method used in theoretical psychology has the function of judging and judging the authenticity of concepts, propositions and theories. The judgment and identification of theoretical concepts do not always need to be verified by experiments. We can judge the authenticity of theoretical concepts through logical analysis. For example, if a theoretical system contains both the proposition F and the proposition non-F, then the theoretical system is self-contradictory. If a theoretical concept can't even pass the logical test, what is the need to put it into practice? Lao Dan (L.), a philosopher of science, once suggested that the logical test of a theoretical system can be carried out from two aspects: one is the logical consistency within the theory, and the other is the logical consistency between the proposition within the theory and an external proposition on which the theory is based. For any kind of mistake, a theoretical psychologist can make a judgment by sitting in an armchair without worrying about the test of experience. According to the principle of logic, there are two propositions: inevitable proposition and probable proposition. The inevitable proposition is either completely true or completely false, which can be determined by logical analysis, because the subject in the inevitable proposition already contains the predicate. Probability proposition may be true under some conditions and false under some conditions, which needs experience to verify. Scientific research involves probability proposition, so it needs observation and experiment. But unfortunately, many researches in psychology regard the inevitable proposition as the probable proposition, which wastes a lot of manpower and material resources. The logical analysis of theoretical psychology can distinguish whether a theoretical concept is an inevitable truth or a possible truth, thus saving the work of psychologists. Third, theoretical psychology also has abstract and comprehensive functions. Abstraction and synthesis are important methods to seek truth. Because of the complexity and diversity of psychological phenomena, the understanding of psychological essence can not only rely on fragmentary empirical materials, but also must be processed and transformed from experience, from this to that, from outside to inside, and abandon secondary and accidental factors to discover the essence and general characteristics of psychological life. This process of abstraction and synthesis is an important function of theoretical psychology. Psychology is still in a state of division and fragmentation today, largely because theoretical psychology lacks abstract and comprehensive functions and fails to raise specific empirical findings and research conclusions to the general theoretical level. In fact, Engels has long pointed out the urgent need for theoretical disciplines when empirical science develops to a certain stage. He pointed out: "Empirical natural science has accumulated such a huge amount of empirical knowledge materials, and it is inevitable to sort out these materials systematically and according to the internal relations of materials in every research field. It is also inevitable to establish a correct connection between various knowledge fields. Therefore, natural science has entered the theoretical field, where empirical methods are useless, and only theoretical thinking is helpful here. " Psychology is at such a stage, which requires theoretical psychology to give play to its advantages in theoretical thinking and its role in building a unified psychological science. At present, there is a common misunderstanding in the field of psychology that theoretical psychology is empty, has no actual content and cannot make any scientific discoveries. The main reason for this misunderstanding is influenced by the positivist view of science. Positivism limits science to the scope of experience and holds that only observation and experiment are the ways of scientific discovery. As we have pointed out before, philosophy of science and natural science ... >; & gt

Question 3: What are the theories of psychology? There are many theories about perception, memory, emotion, learning, personality, intelligence and so on.

There are also various schools of psychology, such as structuralism, functionalism, gestalt, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, humanism, cognitive psychology and so on.

Question 4: What are the basic theories of psychological attention? What are their respective functions? Attention theory: filtering theory, cognitive resource theory, physiological mechanism theory, central energy theory, attention attenuation model theory.

The filtering model is a famous British psychologist.

Filtering theory: also known as bottleneck theory or single channel theory.

This theory was put forward by broadbent in 1958.

Theoretical content: The ability of the nervous system to process information is limited.

There is a filtering mechanism in the nervous system that allows some information to pass through and get further processing.

Other information is blocked out of the mechanism and lost.

The filtering function of the nervous system is all-or-nothing

Cognitive resource theory: attention is a cognitive resource with performance, finiteness and separability.

Performance: pay attention to the task and occupy certain cognitive resources when operating. To some extent, the more resources are invested, the higher the task performance.

Limited: cognitive resources are limited, and we can't invest indefinitely. When resources are exhausted, the performance of the task will be reduced.

Separability: Resources can be allocated and concentrated on important tasks.

Physiological mechanism theory: orienting reflex is a complex and special reflection caused by the new opposite sex of the situation, which is caused by new differences. Once the new opposite sex is lost, the orienting reflex will not happen.

Central energy theory: this theory was put forward by d kahneman (1973). Different from the above model, this theory regards the limitation of attention not as the limited acceptance of information channels, but as the limited energy or resources that people can use to perform tasks, and explains attention with the distribution of energy or resources.

The allocation of resources determines the orientation of attention. The allocation of resources is restricted by the following four factors: ① the possible energy is restricted by the awakening factor; 2 the will at that time; (3) Assessment of the energy required to complete the task; (4) personal long-term tendency

Attenuation model theory: This model is the basis for American psychologist A.M.Trei *** an (1960) to modify the filtering model.

On the basis of. According to this theory, filters do not work in an all-or-nothing way. The channel for receiving information is not single channel, but dual channel. That is, the noticed information is not completely filtered out, that is, the so-called channel is blocked or closed, but attenuated and the intensity is weakened. * * *, which is particularly meaningful to individuals or familiar objects, may be recognized by objects even if the information is attenuated due to the low acceptance threshold. This model is more elastic than the filtering model and can explain more phenomena.
