Towards A Postmodern And Post-Western Psychology, Kenneth J. Gergen Jan 1994

Towards A Postmodern And Post-Western Psychology, Kenneth J. Gergen

Psychology Faculty Works

Psychological inquiry must necessarily proceed on the basis of assumptions for which there are no foundations. Such assumptions frame both the problems to be solved and the means by which they are to be approached. For the most part, 20th century psychology has been based on the presumptions of individual rationality, a rationally ordered cosmos, and language as a vehicle for reflecting this cosmos. However, a broad array of recent scholarship has challenged this, the modernist conception of the field. Postmodern arguments shift the center of rationality from the individual to relationships, see the cosmos as a socially constructed, and …

Therapeutic Professions And The Diffusion Of Deficit, Kenneth J. Gergen Jul 1990

Therapeutic Professions And The Diffusion Of Deficit, Kenneth J. Gergen

Psychology Faculty Works

The mental health professions operate largely so as to objectify a language of mental deficit. In spite of their humane intentions, by constructing a reality of mental deficit the professions contribute to hierarchies of privilege, reduce natural interdependencies within the culture, and lend themselves to self-enfeeblement. This infirming of the culture is progressive, such that when common actions are translated into a professionalized language of mental deficit, and this language is disseminated, the culture comes to construct itself in these terms. This leads to an enhanced dependency on the professions and these are forced, in turn, to invent additional terms …

New Issues In The Study Of Infant Categorization: A Reply To Husaim And Cohen, Deborah G. Kemler Nelson Oct 1981

New Issues In The Study Of Infant Categorization: A Reply To Husaim And Cohen, Deborah G. Kemler Nelson

Psychology Faculty Works

Husaim and Cohen's focus (Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1981, 27, 443–456) on the learning of ill-defined categories by infants is securely motivated. Still, some of the particular questions they pursue—namely, how many dimensions are used to form the categories and what is the salience hierarchy of the dimensions—are tricky and perhaps misleading. Underlying their design and analysis is the basic assumption that the dimensions or attributes of the stimulus as defined by the experimenter have psychological reality for the infants. This assumption is questioned. Infants may perceive different attributes in the stimulus or they may not articulate the stimulus into attributes at …

Habituation Of Mealworm Pupae, Tenebio-Molitor Coleoptera-Tenebrionidae, J. C. Somberg, G. M. Happ, Allen M. Schneider

In holometabolous insects, information acquired at the larval stage can persist through the intervening pupal stage and influence adult behavior (Thorpe and Jones 1937, Thorpe 1939, Borell du Vernay 1942, Borsellino et al. 1970, Somberg et al. 1970, Dethier and Goldrich 1971, Alloway 1972). To account for this relatively permanent storage of information, one must assume that those neural elements which hold this information endure through metamorphosis. The question remains: Can new information be acquired and can behavior be modified during the extensive neural reorganization that accompanies metamorphosis (Edwards 1969, Satija and Luthra 1969)? The present study indicates that a …
