The theory of consciousness came into play from Gustav Theodor Fechner, who believed that he had discovered the individual consciousness and the subliminal universal soul. Yet his work was considered major at the time it became the building block for each theory to come. At the turn of the century, William James concluded that the world appears as our state of consciousness which is considered from our sensory system. Later building off other psychologist’s theories of a nonexistent case of matter James formulated that there is the experience which is part of our consciousness to develop. Titchener redefined consciousness as the study of structuralism, stating that all knowledge is received from an individual’s experience, Studying the development

Selective attention is a form of processing the brain uses to focus on one subject or event at any given time (Lecture). This form of aptitude can be concluded where the brain uses different subcategories for representing sensory information. Although the body uses sensory information to perceive its current environment, events such as sleep deprivation and stress can alter the brain 's ability to conceive information over a certain period. A study was performed to test the fundamental principles of occurrence of sleep deprivation and the amount of stress. During the period the subjects were exposed to a task that involved motor skill by tossing a ball, another test was used to test the semi motor learning skills by translating a page of text into Morse code. During their insomnia period, the skills increased slightly yet leveled at a constant rate. The final test included abstract learning where the individuals were constituted to multiply a set of number mentally. Yet this trial showed a decrease in performance during the insomnia period and proved that sleep deprivation impacts the mind 's ability to complex thinking while physical attributes were not affected yet increased in …show more content…
Also, assisting individuals with language and cognitive processing, developing their memory formation. To become a cognitive psychologist, one must already have a doctorate, and the program is usually four to five years. An internship with a qualified psychologist is required prior to being assigned an opportunity to work with other psychologists and patients.
In 1908 Lightner Witmer published the first of the psychological clinic, he determined that with little experiments to understand their validity or as he said: “teach to weakness”. A paper published in 1952 by British psychologist Hans Eysenck presented that psychotherapy was not effective in treatment. Yet Paul Meehl presented the idea that judgments of statistical data were to be represented in large amounts of samples to create accurate predictions instead of having one clinical based situation.
The purpose of clinical psychology was to present best and most efficient way to gather information to conclude certain standpoints in an experiment. Clinical Psychology gave better understandings, with further research, of disorders such as the post-traumatic stress disorder which involves memories and or nightmares of a traumatic experience (lecture). The study helps prevent psychological disorder and increase a subjective and a well-balanced personal
