Refimprove date December 2009 In relation to psychology to pair by association is the action of associating a stimulus with an arbitrary idea or object, to elicit a response, usually emotional. This is done by repeatedly pairing the stimulus with the arbitrary object. For example, repeatedly pairing images of beautiful women in bathing suits, elicits a sexual response in most men. Advertising agencies, for example, repeatedly pair products with attractive women in television commercials. This is with the intention of eliciting an emotional or sexually aroused response in the consumer. This causes the consumer to be more likely to buy the product than when presented with a similar but competing product without such an association. Verbal behavior Behaviorists will often use paired association tests to determine the strength of verbal behavior , in particular, B.F Skinner s concept of the verbal response class called intraverbals. ref Daniel J.

Meaning is a concept used in psychology as well as in other fields such as philosophy, linguistics, semiotics and sociology. These multidisciplinary use of the term are not independent, but more or less overlapping. Within each of these fields there are different ways in which the term meaning is constructed and used and each of these constructions may match related constructions in other fields. At the deepest level are each construction associated with an epistemological position. The concept meaning is thus used differently in different epistemological traditions in each field. The logical positivists, for example, associated meaning with scientific verification. ref Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 2005 .

Greedy reductionism is a term coined by Daniel Dennett , in his 1995 book Darwin s Dangerous Idea , to refer to a kind of erroneous reductionism .

Examples A canonical example of greedy reductionism, labelled as such by Dennett himself, ref Dennett 1995 Chapter 13, Losing our Minds to Darwin p. 395 ref is the radical behaviorism radical behaviorism of B. F. Skinner . It is often said of this school of thought which dominated the field of psychology, at least in the Anglo American world, for much of the twentieth century that it denied the existence of mental states such as beliefs, although at least in Skinner s original version it merely denied the theoretical utility or necessity of postulating such states in order to explain behavior. Notably, Skinner himself characterized his views as anti reductionist in Beyond Freedom and Dignity and other works e.g. About Behaviorism and chapter 19 of Verbal Behavior book Verbal Behavior , ref B.

Social disruption is a term used in sociology to describe the alteration or breakdown of social relation social life , often in a community setting. For example, the closing of a community grocery store might cause social disruption in a community by removing a meeting ground for community members to develop interpersonal relationships and community social solidarity solidarity . The term is often associated with the effects of rapid population growth . Social disruptions can take place in a variety of forms, from natural disasters to the grocery store example in the above paragraph. It can take place after anything that happens that changes the usual routine in an environment. Theories empty section date August 2011 Punishment In punishment , social disruption occurs when the deliverer of punishment and the setting in which the punishment is delivered become aversives conditioned aversive stimuli . More simply put, a person who delievers punishment can become something that is avoided by the subject of the punishment. For example, a lab rat may come to avoid an experimenter delivering shocks as punishment. The experimenter himself is not a punishing stimulus , but the rat learns to associate the actual punishment the shocks with the person delivering the shocks. The use of punishment seems necessary when trying to suppress violence or stress.

Unreferenced date July 2007 Psychological nominalism is the view advanced in Wilfrid Sellars paper Empiricism and Philosophy of Mind EPM that explains psychological concepts in terms of public language use. Sellars describes psychological nominalism as the view that all awareness of sorts, resemblances, facts, etc., in short, all awareness is a linguistic affair. Judging solely from the mention in EPM, Psychological Nominalism would seem to be a form of Verbal Behaviorism, which holds that ascriptions of psychological states are definitionally equivalent to predictions about behavior. For example, the verbal behavior Verbal Behaviorist holds that a statement like John is scared of thunderstorms is meaningful only insofar as it can be parsed into predictions concerning the sorts of things John is likely to say and or do in the event of a thunderstom i.e. John will say, or have a propensity to say, I am scared when he hears thunder or John will hide, or have a propensity to hide, his face when he sees lightning . Psychological Nominalism extends the Verbal Behaviorist s explanation of psychological states like fear, love, desire, thinking etc. to cognitive states being aware, knowing, etc. while denying the premise that falsifiability criteria can give statements their meaning. The Psychological Nominalist concedes that survival of mental terminology in natural language can be explained in terms of the practical utility of mental state ascriptions, but denies that this constitutes an analysis of the meaning of any particular mental state ascription because the Psychological Nominalist contends that the meaning of any term, mental or otherwise, is irreducibly bound with its usage. Thus, the Verbal Behaviorist fails to give a completely philosophically satisfying account of psychological statements because he fails to recognize that the linguistic statements are themselves meaningful in light of the kinds of behavior associated with them.
