Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

15.4K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Archival Research

15.9K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

6.3K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology01:20

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

409
Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.
This field emerged in the mid-20th century, following a period dominated by behaviorism, which...

Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence
  • Cognitive Science
  • Robotics

Background:

  • The capacity for action in artificial systems is a debated topic.
  • Existing literature presents divided views (skeptics vs. believers) without systematic discussion.
  • This foundational question impacts the understanding of artificial intelligence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically investigate the agency of artificial systems.
  • To address the foundational question of whether artificial systems can act.
  • To propose a novel methodological approach for studying artificial agency.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a methodological framework for agency investigation.
  • Analyzing artificial systems from architectural perspectives.
  • Analyzing artificial systems from behavioral perspectives.

Main Results:

  • A systematic approach to investigating artificial agency is outlined.
  • The study provides a framework for distinguishing genuine agency from mere reaction.
  • Identifies key architectural and behavioral markers of artificial agency.

Conclusions:

  • The systematic investigation of artificial agency is crucial for AI philosophy.
  • The proposed methodology offers a path to resolve the debate on artificial action.
  • Understanding artificial agency requires considering both internal architecture and external behavior.
