Introduction

Introduction
This course comprises an interactive resource originally developed for the Exploring
Psychology course, which was designed to provide more information about the people
referred to in this Open University course, and the different perspectives that exist within
psychology methods as well as the different methods used in psychological inquiry. It will
help you gain a sense of the historical location of the people, the cultural influences on
their thinking and how they are grouped together in terms of direct contact and influence
on each other. This course is associated with another OpenLearn course
‘Psychology in the 21st century’, and if you have not studied psychology before you would
be advised to first work through that course to obtain a framework from which to explore
the content of this resource.
The materials that have been used to form the Exploring Psychology's Context and
History: EPoCH resource associated with this course are presented using the knowledge
mapping software Compendium. No prior knowledge of Compendium is required to use
the resource – you may find it helpful, however, to access the Compendium maps initially
by following the link to the EPoCH resource and by using the associated hints and
instructions for each activity.
This OpenLearn course provides a sample of Level 2 Social sciences

1 Using EPoCH: an introduction
The following sections describe the Exploring Psychology's Context and History: EPoCH
resource and how you might use it. You will find a series of five activities that will guide you
through the actual use of the EPoCH timeline later in this course. Figure 1 shows the
EPoCH timeline – the opening screen of the EPoCH resource.

EPOCH Psychology history timeline - The Open University
1 Using EPoCH: an introduction

Figure 1 The EPoCH timeline
Explore the historical timeline
When you open the EPoCH resource you will see a historical timeline, from around
1750 to 2000, with the names of over 1000 people (figures featured in the Open
University's Exploring Psychology course material). The timeline indicates when each
person, mostly psychologists, began work and when they died (although a number are
contemporary). It also indicates what important social and historical events were taking
place at the time of their work. To explore the timeline, you can scroll up and down the
resource window. Figure 1 shows only one part of the timeline – there are entries listed
from A to Z.
Explore biographies of figures
You can access a biography by clicking on the name of a figure on the timeline. Some of
these accounts have been written by the person themselves and this allows a personal
insight into their life and work. Where the person is not contemporary or was unable to
contribute their own materials, members of the Open University's Exploring Psychology
course team have written the biography, citing their sources where appropriate. There is
usually a photo of the person next to their biography, and you can also learn who
influenced them, who has cited them as an influence, what methods they use(d), what
topics they were or are interested in and the social context in which they work(ed).
In some cases, there are also brief video clips associated with certain figures or audio
clips of speech they have made. You can access video and audio clips by clicking on the
relevant icons placed next to the picture of the person.
One final thing to note is that you can do the same search on individual figures by going to
the ‘Figures’ icon above the timeline.
Explore methods, perspectives, topics and context
You can also search to learn more about the methods, perspectives, topics and contexts
by clicking on the relevant buttons above the timeline. So, to find out more about a
particular method (e.g. qualitative methods), you would simply click on the ‘Methods’ icon
and then click on the ‘Qualitative’ icon from the list of methods. The icons used on the
EPoCH resource are shown in Figure 2.

2 About the activities in this course

Figure 2 The icons used in the EPoCH resource
The material about methods, perspectives and topics has been devised in order to give
you a relatively brief summary of each of these but these are not designed to give full
details or critical evaluation (for that you will need to study the Open University's
Exploring Psychology course).
Getting started
To help start your exploration of this resource, we have devised a series of activities within
this course. Once you've completed these, use the time you have left for this course to
gain a sense of how diverse psychology is, to become familiar with the figures, the
perspectives, the methods and the topics.
Help
Within the EPoCH resource you'll see a help icon. If you select it you'll see information
relating to the EPoCH resource. Figure 3 shows the help screen

Figure 3 The help screen

2 About the activities in this course
You now have the opportunity to interact with the five activities. We suggest that you start
at activity one and work your way through the others in sequence. By doing this you will

EPOCH Psychology history timeline - The Open University
3 About Compendium

build up not only your knowledge of psychologists and their work but also your use of the
EPoCH timeline as well as utilizing the Compendium knowledge maps.
Time
Each activity may take up to one hour to complete. Once you become familiar with using
the EPoCH resource the time you spend investigating it to find answers to the activity
questions may diminish as you learn how to access the relevant information more
effectively and efficiently.
You may find it helpful to print out the activities or keep this course open in a separate
window whilst the EPoCH resource is also open in another window.
Here is a summary of the activities in this course:

      Activity 1: Using the timeline
      Activity 2: Using the biographies
      Activity 3: Exploring perspectives
      Activity 4: Exploring topics
      Activity 5: Using the figures, methods, perspectives, topics and context icons

A final thought before you start the activities
The activities are designed primarily to help you explore the history and context of
psychology but they also involve you in using Compendium knowledge maps. A brief
description of Compendium can also be found in the next section.

3 About Compendium
The EPoCH resource has been presented using the knowledge mapping software
Compendium. It is a software tool for visual thinking. You can use it to cluster and connect
icons linked to ideas, concepts, arguments, websites and documents.
Compendium can be used for personal reflection as you study or work on a problem and
you can share your maps with others… your summary of a topic, or a learning path
through, say, an OpenLearn free course.

Activity 1: Using the timeline

Figure 4 The Compendium software
In this course, however, we have designed a series of activities that help you: Explore
Psychology's Context and History (EPoCH). We used Compendium to link together
information about various aspects of psychology and have presented them in a series of
knowledge maps. You do not need to download the Compendium software to access
EPoCH as the resulting knowledge maps are presented as a series of web pages.
Finally, it is important to remember that it is not necessary to download Compendium in
order to use the EPoCH resource. The materials have been presented as a series of
linked web pages and simply require a web browser to display them.

Activity 1: Using the timeline
This activity requires you to use the EPoCH timeline to find the answers to the questions
listed below. Remember that as well as scrolling from left to right (i.e. backwards and
forwards in time) you can also scroll up and down the timeline – revealing the full listing of
psychologists and researchers included in the EPoCH resource.
Hint:
The EPoCH resource presents information about individual researchers, their contexts
and methods as well as details about psychological topics and perspectives. Each of
these aspects can be accessed by clicking on the named icons.

             timeline/content-section-0?utm_source=openlearnutm_campaign=olutm_medium=ebook
Activity 2: Using the biographies

The resource is, in fact, a Compendium knowledge map with many different connections.
Note that you can access the same information by taking a number of different routes.
Biography information, for example, is visible when you click on an individual's name in
the timeline. You'll then see information about that person as well as their connections to
other psychologists and psychological contexts.
One approach to question 1, for example, might be to examine the timeline and look for
psychologists who were born in, or near, 1939, the start of the Second World War. Click on
each individual's name and then read the associated text to discover the name of the
individual who carried out research at the Tavistock clinic in the early 1950s.
When you are ready to answer the activity questions and explore the EPoCH resource:
Click here to access the EPoCH resource

  Activity 1
  1        Which developmental psychologist was born at the start of the Second World War
           and what did she research at the Tavistock Clinic in the early 1950s?
  2        Who started work in 1838 and who influenced this person?
  3        In which decade did the ‘Anti-psychiatry movement’ begin and what book
           exemplified this movement?
  4        Which began first, the use of the ‘Information Processing Metaphor’ or ‘Post
           modernism/French Social Theory’ in psychology and which of these asserts that
           we live in a fragmented world with multiple realities?
  5        Which psychologist started work in 1928 and what led him to develop the concept
           of ‘optic flow’?

  You can compare your findings with the following answers by clicking 'Now read the
  answer' below.
  Answer
  1        Mary Ainsworth worked at the Tavistock clinic in the early 1950s, mainly working
           on research into the effects of 'maternal deprivation’.
  2        Francis Galton started work in 1838 and he was influenced by Charles Darwin.
  3        1960 and ‘Myth of Mental Illness’ by Thomas Szasz.
  4        The use of the ‘Information Processing Metaphor’ began first and ‘Post-
           modernisms/French Social Theory’ asserts that we live in a fragmented world with
           multiple realities.
  5        James Jerome Gibson and his study of pilots when taking off and landing led him
           to develop the concept of ‘optic flow’.

Activity 2: Using the biographies
Even if you have not studied psychology before, you may well have heard of Sigmund
Freud. Use his biography to answer the following questions.
Hint:

                timeline/content-section-0?utm_source=openlearnutm_campaign=olutm_medium=ebook
Activity 2: Using the biographies

Biographies contain information about individual psychologists. Some descriptions are
longer than others – in the case of Sigmund Freud the biography is extensive. You may
find it helpful to read the entire text first before attempting to answer the questions in this
activity. Figure 5 shows an example of Simon Baron Cohen's biography.

Figure 5 An example of biography details in the EPoCH resource
You'll notice also that when the EPoCH resource is open an alphabetical list of
psychologists and researchers also appears on the left hand side of the resource. You can
click on the map icon next to their name at any time to explore their biographical details
further. See Figure 6 to see part of the list.

Activity 3: Exploring perspectives

Activity 3: Exploring perspectives
Eighteen psychological perspectives are presented in the EPoCH resource. Each
perspective is also linked to relevant individual psychologists who have been associated
with that particular perspective. These are shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 The psychological perspectives presented in the EPoCH resource
Hint:
To complete the following activity questions you need to select the 'Perspectives' icon
above the timeline and then explore the relevant perspectives.
Notice also that each icon has an asterisk adjacent to it. This indicates that there is some
explanatory text associated with the perspective. You may find it helpful to read this text
before attempting to answer the questions listed below.

  Activity 3
  1     Which perspective involves the measurement of psychological variables such as
        intelligence, aptitude and personality type?
  2     Which perspective draws on disciplines outside psychology that include genetics,
        social anthropology, palaeoanthropology, primatology and ethology?
  3     What metaphor is appropriate for helping us to understand the mind according to
        the Cognitive Psychology perspective?
  4     Name two of the research designs used in developmental psychology?
  5     Which of the figures associated with the Social Constructionist perspective was
        born in New Zealand and currently works at The Open University?

             timeline/content-section-0?utm_source=openlearnutm_campaign=olutm_medium=ebook
Activity 4: Exploring topics

  Answer
  1     The Psychometric perspective (which involves the measurement of psychological
        variables such as intelligence, aptitude and personality type)
  2     The Evolutionary perspective (which draws on disciplines outside psychology that
        include genetics, social anthropology, palaeoanthropology, primatology and
        ethology)
  3     The computer metaphor.
  4     Two of the research designs used in developmental psychology are:
        l     longitudinal studies: where the same people are followed over time, and
              their changes in behaviour plotted.
        l     cross-sectional studies: these look at different people in different age
              groups, examining their different capacities in terms of cognition, capacity for
              social relationships etc.
  5     Margie Wetherell (found by reading through the figures associated with this
        perspective)

Activity 4: Exploring topics
There are fifty-eight psychological topics presented on the EPoCH resource. This activity,
therefore, relies on your recent experience of using the Compendium knowledge maps as
well as your ability to interpret the questions efficiently. Figure 8 shows the wide variety of
topics listed.

Activity 4: Exploring topics

Figure 8 The psychological topics presented in the EPoCH resource
Hint:
To complete the following activities you need to click on the 'Topics' icon above the
historical timeline. The question itself will include mention of the topic and to find the
complete answer you will have to explore the figures associated with the topic.
Once again you will notice that an asterisk is present adjacent to each named topic – the
associated text describes the topic.
In addition you may notice that many of the topics also have a number beneath them. This
indicates that there is a link to other parts of the EPoCH resource. If you click on the
number a list of links will appear – by clicking on name in that list you will be taken to the
biography of that person.

  Activity 4
  1     How have attitudes been sub-divided and who developed the theory of cognitive
        dissonance?
  2     Which skills are affected by autism and who has been associated with this topic
        and also with the development of a model of memory?
  3     What is meant by ‘working memory’ and which female figure (influenced by Noam
        Chomsky) conducted research into aspects of memory in everyday life that
        included a large-scale study of Open University students?

Activity 5: Using the figures, methods, perspectives, topics and context icons

  4     What does non-verbal communication refer to and what topic is related?
  5     Who are the major theorists of moral development and who systematically
        observed his own children?

  You can compare your findings with the following answers by clicking 'Now read the
  answer' below.
  Answer
  1     Attitudes have been sub-divided into affective, behavioural and cognitive aspects.
        Leon Festinger developed the theory of cognitive dissonance.
  2     Autism affects physical, social and language skills. John Morton is best known for
        a model of memory known as the ‘logogen model’.
  3     Working memory holds information for a short period of time allowing it to be used
        in cognitive processes (e.g. arithmetic or reading). Gillian Cohen has conducted
        research on memory in everyday life including a large-scale study of Open
        University students.
  4     Non-verbal communication refers to aspects such as gestures, body posture and
        facial expressions. Emotion is a related topic.
  5     Piaget and Kohlberg are the major theorists of moral development, and Piaget
        together with his wife, systematically observed his children.

Activity 5: Using the figures, methods,
perspectives, topics and context icons
You can use the icons above the timeline to find the answers to the questions in this final
activity. Look out for key words (such as context, method etc.) to help you select the right
icon. Remember that each area may contain a wide variety of information. There are
seventeen methods listed in the EPoCH resource, for example, Figure 9 shows them.
Hint:
You'll have discovered from the last two activities that some of the icons presented in the
EPoCH resource also have extra links attached to them. These are represented either as
an asterisk or a number. Each can be explored by clicking on either the asterisk or
number.

  Activity 5
  1     Discourse Analysis argues that the way in which we use language plays a major
        role in how we behave and make sense of our social world, but with which method
        is it associated: Experimental, Psycholinguistics or Qualitative?
  2     What topic that transcends the experiences commonly examined in mainstream

of how the historical and social context influences psychological inquiry. By reading about
the different perspectives you have gained an understanding of the diversity of
psychology. By reading the biographies of figures you have learned how psychologists
are influenced by other others, how they use different methods and how they have
contributed to different topics.
In addition you have also gained an understanding of using the knowledge mapping
software Compendium and have seen how it can be used to present historical information
that relates to a known timeline.
