Life Stories of the Creators of Psychology as the Basis for Understanding Their Scientific Concepts

Abstract

Experiences from working with students clearly indicate that being able to understand and understanding is often two completely different aspects related to your knowledge.
Understanding the scientific concepts of psychology often comes down to knowing about the very facts covered in definitions, rules, assumptions and divisions, without understanding the meaning and causes of their formulation. Teaching psychology brings the most positive results when young people understand first and foremost, not just remember. Reference to the theoretical assumptions of the main psychological concepts in the analysis of the life history of their creators allows the acquired knowledge to be meaningfully analyzed, understood and practically implied.
