Psychology is an academic and scientific study of mental processes and behavior. Psychologists study such concepts as perception, cognition, emotion, personality, behavior, interpersonal relationships, and the individual and collective unconscious.
Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity including issues related to daily life—e.g. family, education, and work—and the treatment of mental health problems.
Psychology includes many sub-fields of study and application concerned with such areas as human development, sports, health, industry, media, law.
Psychology is the science of the intellects, characters and behavior of animals including man. Human education is concerned with certain changes in the intellects, characters and behavior of men, its problems being roughly included under these four topics: Aims, materials, means and methods.
Educational psychology is the study of human learning. The study of learning processes, both cognitive and affective, allows researchers to understand individual differences in behavior, personality, intellect, and self- concept. The field of educational psychology heavily relies on testing, measurement, assessment, evaluation, and training to enhance educational activities and learning processes. This can involve studying instructional processes within the classroom setting.
Educational psychology can in part be understood through its relationship with other disciplines. It is informed primarily by psychology, bearing a relationship to that discipline analogous to the relationship between medicine and biology. It is also informed by neuroscience. Educational psychology in turn informs a wide range of specialities within educational studies, including instructional design, educational technology, curriculum development, organizational learning, special education and classroom management. Educational psychology both draws from and contributes to cognitive science and the learning sciences.

There are many different ways of thinking about human behavior. Psychologists utilize a variety of perspectives when studying how people think, feel, and behave.
Some researchers focus on one specific perspective, such as the biological perspective, while others take a more eclectic approach that incorporates multiple points of view.
There is no single perspective that is "better" than another;
each simply emphasizes different aspects of human behavior.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Psych 101 - Introduction to Psychology - Lecture 1
1.
2. Psychology is the scientific study of
behaviour and mental processes.
The field is scientific in that psychologists
approach their studies in an orderly and
systematic way in order to obtain objective
evidence.
Psychologists study:
Overt or observable behaviour, as well as
Covert behaviour – private mental processes that
cannot be directly observed or measured and
must be inferred from overt behaviour.
www.whatispsychology.biz
3. The primary goals of psychology are to:
Decribe behaviour – what is the nature of this
behaviour?
Understand and explain behaviour - why does it
occur?
Predict behaviour– can we forecast when and
under what circumstances it will occur?
Control behaviour - what factors influence this
behaviour?
www.whatispsychology.biz
4. Several types of psychologists exist. These
include:
Cognitive psychologists:
study the ways humans perceive and understand
the world around them.
Physiological psychologists:
study the role of brain functions in behaviour.
Developmental psychologists:
study how individuals grow and change
throughout their lives.
www.whatispsychology.biz
5. Social psychologists:
study how people influence and are influenced
by others.
School psychologists:
test and evaluate students, analyze learning
problems, and counsel teachers and parents.
Industrial/Organizational psychologists:
work on a wide variety of issues in work
settings.
www.whatispsychology.biz
6. Forensic psychologists:
work on behavioural issues in the legal, judicial
and correctional systems.
Health psychologists:
focus on ways to improve health by altering
behaviour.
Sports psychologists:
Study how psychological factors influence
performance in sports, physical activity and
exercise.
www.whatispsychology.biz
7. Most psychologists are involved in the areas
of clinical and counseling psychology.
The primary focus of clinical psychologists is the
diagnosis and treatment of mental and
behavioural disorders.
There is some overlap between clinical and
counseling psychology but the latter typically
involves working with people who have less
severe social, emotional and vocational
problems.
www.whatispsychology.biz
8. Severalschools of thought have helped to
shape the field of psychology into what it is
today. These include:
Structuralism
Functionalism
Psychoanalysis
Behaviourism
Gestalt psychology
Humanistic psychology
Positive psychology
www.whatispsychology.biz
9. In 1879, Wilhelm Wundt
established the first
“psychological” laboratory in
Germany. He is widely
viewed as the founder of
psychology.
He attempted to uncover the
structure of consciousness by
breaking down mental
processes into their most
basic components.
This was done through a
process called introspection.
Wundt‟s approach became
known as structuralism.
www.whatispsychology.biz
11. William James argued
that consciousness
cannot be broken down
into elements.
He was concerned with
ongoing conscious
experience and the
functions of mental
processes.
His views gave rise to
another branch of
psychology -
functionalism
www.whatispsychology.biz
12. Behaviourists held the
view that only overt
behaviour can be
studied scientifically.
They advocated the use
of strict experimental
procedures in
psychology.
Supported by B. F.
Skinner, Ivan Pavlov and
John B. Watson
John B. Watson
www.whatispsychology.biz
13. Strict
behaviourists believed that all
behaviours are shaped by the environment.
Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed,
and my own specified world to bring them up in
and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and
train him to become any type of specialist I
might select -- doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-
chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief,
regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies,
abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors.
--John Watson, Behaviorism, 1930
www.whatispsychology.biz
14. Gestalt psychology –
founded by Max
Wertheimer
Focused on studying
mental processes and
behaviours as „wholes‟
rather than trying to
separate them into
discrete functions or
parts.
Held the view that “the
whole is greater than
the sum of its parts.”
www.whatispsychology.biz
15. While other theorists tried
to explain varying aspects
of conscious experience,
Sigmund Freud argued for
the role of the unconscious
and other internal
processes in human
behaviour and mental
disorders.
His work formed the
foundation of
psychoanalytic theory
www.whatispsychology.biz
16. Humanistic psychologists
argued that humans are
not helplessly controlled
by unconscious or
environmental forces –
we have free will, goals,
aspirations, and other
positive motives which
should be studied.
Influenced by Carl
Rogers.
www.whatispsychology.biz
17. Founded by Martin
Seligman
Arose from the observation
that psychologists generally
focus on the negative side
of human behaviour while
largely neglecting the more
positive aspects of human
experience.
Focused on discovering and
promoting factors that
allow individuals and
communites to thrive.
