00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.000
Psychology began as a set of questions about behavior

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:17.000
raised initially by philosophers and then by physiologists and evolutionary biologists.

3
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:23.000
We have seen how psychology evolved to become a major scientific discipline

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.000
that studies both observable behavior and mental processes.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:36.000
But the history of psychology is much more than the story of a handful of famous pioneers.

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.200
Thousands of researchers and theorists have made contributions to psychology

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:48.200
uncovering small but essential pieces of the puzzle we call human behavior.
