Professor Paul Bloom: Okay.
The last class we talked about the brain.
Now we're going to talk a little bit about some foundations.
So today and Monday we're going to talk about two very big ideas and these ideas are associated with Sigmund Freud and B. F. Skinner and are psychoanalysis and behaviorism.
And I want to talk about psychoanalysis today and behaviorism next week.
Now, one of these things--One of the things that makes these theories so interesting is their scope.
Most of the work we're going to talk about in this class--Most of the ideas are narrow.
So, we're going to talk about somebody's idea about racial prejudice but that's not a theory of language acquisition.
We'll talk about theories of schizophrenia but they're not explanations of sexual attractiveness.
Most theories are specialized theories but these two views are grand theories.
