Psych tables & definitions

1- Science means socially systematized knowledge.

2 - There are different types of science according to their goals and methods

3 - Morphological sciences are descriptive. They take the extension criterion -situation, constitution and manners of behaving of the things studied- as the foundation of their classificatory knowledge (see Table 3).

4 - Functional sciences are explanatory. They take the movement criterion in its qualitative, quantitative and evolving dimensions, as the foundation of their knowledge. Movement criterion means to focus on the functionality or animation of natural things, ordinarily referred to in spatial and bodily terms. On the other hand, functional sciences act in an analytic and generalizing manner (see Table 3).

5 - Technological sciences are manipulative with an empirical and pragmatic criterion. They synthesize and particularize the knowledge from other types of sciences in order to manipulate, modify or control the natural functioning of things, eventually creating instruments or machines.

6 - Formal disciplines are conceptual procedures that act as operative rules in scientific research.

7 - Psychology is a functional science. Secondarily it is a morphological science and it is interesting to note that most psychologists work in technological activities.
