Experiential Learning Activities to Demonstrate the History of Psychology Concepts
Abstract
In this study we try to explore the concept of “Experiential Learning Activities to demonstrate the History of Psychology Concepts” in a holistic context. The main focus of the research is on “psychological concepts” and its relation with “experiential learning activities”. The research also analyzes many aspects of “psychology” and tries to gauge its effect on “learning”.

Experiential Learning Activities to Demonstrate the History of Psychology Concepts
Introduction
Learning is the acquisition of new behavior in an individual as a result of its interaction with the external environment (Teo 2005). Various learning theories help psychologists to understand, predict and control human behavior. For example, psychologists have developed theories of learning mathematics can predict the possibility for a person to issue a correct answer, these theories used for designing computer-programmed learning in subjects such as reading, math or language (Brysbaert & Rastle 2009).
History of Psychology
Early psychology advised as the study of the soul (in the Christian sense of the term). The up to designated day philosophical convention of psychology was very powerfully leveraged by the works of Rene Descartes (1596-1650), and the contentions that he evolved, of which the most applicable were the objections to his Meditations on First Philosophy (1641), issued with the text (Schonpflug 2004). Also, important to the later development of psychology were his Passions of the Soul (1649) and Treatise on Man (completed in 1632 but, along with balance of The World, refuted from publication after Descartes wise of the Catholic Church's condemnation of Galileo; it was eventually issued posthumously, in 1664).
Although not educated as a medical practitioner, Descartes did comprehensive anatomical enquiries of bulls' hearts and was suggested important adequate that William Harvey responded to him. Descartes was one of the first to endorse Harvey's pattern of the circulation of the body-fluid but contradicted with metaphysical structure to understand it. Descartes dissected animals and human cadavers (Mandler 2007). It was well renowned with the study on the flow of body-fluid premier to the deduction that the body is a convoluted apparatus that is proficient of going without the soul, thus contradicting the Doctrine of the Soul (Brysbaert & Rastle 2009).
Learning is the acquisition of new behavior in an individual as a result of its interaction with the external environment. Experience circumstances or events experienced by one person. For empiricists, from the human experience builds knowledge, suggests that the individual as a child begins to have positive perceptions and on the basis of these perceptions formed after general representations and concepts (Brysbaert & Rastle 2009).
