00:01
So maybe we're trying to figure out who wrote the first psychology book.
00:09
The first psychology book, not just any psychology book.
00:18
Well, if we were given a list of different people who may have written it, we should probably look through the different options and eliminate accordingly if we don't immediately know the answer.
00:31
So we had william james.
00:37
We have william vunt, skinner, watson, and van dura.
00:51
So what do we know about any of these psychologists? well, we do know that if we just figure out the dates of when all of these different people were born, this might elucidate some idea of who the first writer of these psychology books could be.
01:13
So skinner was alive from 1904 to 1990.
01:19
Albert bandura, i don't have his birthday here, but i can tell you that he was alive after skinner.
01:30
So he's in the 1900s, solidly.
01:35
Watson was 1878 to 1558.
01:44
And then we have william james, who was 1842 to 1910.
01:55
And william vunt, who was 1832 to 1910.
02:04
So based off of this, there's some people we can automatically eliminate.
02:09
Watson probably didn't do it.
02:11
Van derr probably wasn't the first.
02:13
Skinner was also probably not the first...
