Phrenology, although now considered a pseudoscience, had an impact on the field of psychology by emphasizing the idea that different areas of the brain are responsible for different behaviors and functions. This idea laid the foundation for the localization of brain functions, which later influenced the development of modern neuroscience and psychology. However, phrenology's specific claims about personality traits and abilities based on the shape of the skull have been discredited.
Pseudo Psychology is the practices which are given resemblance to psychology but in real sense of the word it is not true.It can also be referred to as false psychology. Examples are phrenology,graphology and palmistry.
Functionalism contributed to psychology by emphasizing the importance of studying how the mind works to adapt to its environment and perform functions. It helped shift focus from just studying the structure of the mind to understanding its purpose and function. Functionalism also influenced the development of applied psychology, such as educational and industrial psychology.
Phrenology is study of the bumps on a person's head.
Thales of Miletus did not contribute to the field of psychology. He was known for his contributions to philosophy and science, focusing on the natural world and cosmology.
Some types of pseudo psychology include astrology, phrenology, graphology, and numerology. These practices lack empirical evidence and scientific support, often relying on anecdotal evidence or subjective interpretations. They are not considered legitimate psychological theories by mainstream psychology.
