Why is it important to remember theories which are later discredited?

If a theory has been tested and doesn't work remembering that it didn't work saves time instead of redoing it as part of a study. It is better to do new things rather than to take old and useless information to use.

Who designed the theory of plate tectonics?
Alfred Weneger, who was a German scientist somewhere in the 1930s. Other scientists didn't believe his theories at first, but about twenty years later, his theories appeared to be true.
Why might Copernicus be consider as father of astronomy?
Because he was the first astronomer in modern times to devise a new model of the planets' orbits with the Sun at the centre. Copernicus's model of 1543 was rejected after Kepler's theory of 1609 was supported by later theories of dynamics, but Kepler retained the heliocentric principle and Copernicus's work was an important stage in the process of development of ideas.

What is one reason that photosynthesis is important for respiration?

Why don't all theories become laws?
Scientific theories and laws technically are never true. They are models that scientists create in order to predict outcomes. Since nature has given us no essential axioms everything scientists have done is just a model. For example: When maxwell originally developed his theory he used a set of cogs and wheels to explain electromagnetism. He later realized these were not necessary and dropped them from his formulation. This changes the essence of his theory but both ways delivered the same predictions given a set of data points. Similarly, before Einstein, newtons laws were considered infallable however later we realized that newton's laws only work in certain realms. Even Einstein didn't have the whole story. Dirac later applied his relativistic theories to the quantum field. Currently dirac's theory has the largest realm of applicablity (although it is very difficult to use). However even dirac's theory cannot explain all realms. Therefore theories and laws, since they are not essential to nature and are just models and can be replaced.
What are the defferences between psychodynamic theories of personality and the later psychological theories?
Psychodynamic theories focus on the role of unconscious processes, childhood experiences, and internal conflicts in shaping personality, while later psychological theories consider other factors such as cognitive processes, social interactions, and individual differences in personality development. Psychodynamic theories tend to be more focused on the past and internal drives, while later theories may emphasize present and future behaviors and motivations. Additionally, psychodynamic theories often involve long-term therapy to explore unconscious processes, whereas later theories may emphasize shorter-term interventions and empirical research.

How are hypotheses related to theories?
Because they are later answered by real tests
Is there a difference between hypothesis and theory?
Its generally accepted that there is. Hypothesis being an educated guess to be proven through experimentation and theory is a generally accepted idea that has been tested and not discredited but may be later on.

Why is sociology discredited?
Sociology is not discredited overall, but some criticisms include concerns about the objectivity of research, reliance on subjective interpretations, and potential biases in study findings. Additionally, the complexity of social phenomena can make it difficult to draw clear and definitive conclusions in the field of sociology.
What is the purpose of summaries?
The purpose of a summary is to help you remember what you have read to take a test on the material later. Remember to put the big things and only the important details. If you take notes on all characters and their descriptions and two sentences about the action in each chapter, you will have a great summary.

What does gradualism and punctuated equilibrium have in common?
That they are both theories of evolutionary change, but the tempo of the change is different enough that we have the two theories. Rapid evolutionary change punctuated with long periods of stasis describes the former while gradual and incremental change over long periods is the description of the later. Natural selection seems to be more important in gradualism than punctuation, but this is a murky area that is argued about often.
