Discus the importance of the Psychoanalytic and Behaviourist Schools of thought. B: Behaviourism was considered to be founded by Watson in the early1900's. Watson as a psychologist looked at other methods of psychological research examples such as the method of introspection developed by Wundt. Watson looked at structuralism and functionalism and felt that the results were not accurate as they only applied to a single person and were not applicable as general theories. Watson had strong beliefs that psychological research should only take place if there was physical evidence to back up the theory. The Russian psychologist Pavlov who was mainly known for his work with dogs influenced Watson. Watson was the first person to use humans in scientific psychological experiments. Watson decided to study the mind and behaviour of babies as they are considered closest to animals in their reactions making it easier to carry out experiments on what was considered "a bundle of reflex actions". Watson's theory stated the beliefs that the findings from experiments on animals and babies were not only true and accurate but they could also set trends that would explain aspects of the more complex adult personality. Through Watson's experiments on babies he found that conditioning could take place in humans as well as in animals as previously shown Pavlov. Watson soon realised from a

Essay about The reason of Sherlock Holmes' popularity
Essay about The reason of Sherlock Holmes' popularity There are four long stories and fifty-six short stories and many pastiches about Sherlock Holmes in the world. But why is Sherlock Holmes so popular? So I would like to analyse the reason why Sherlock Holmes is so popular all over the world in my own way. I want to tell it by three points.

From these three points, I will point out the reason of the popularity of Sherlock Holmes. First, I talk about his characters. Let's imagine the characters of Sherlock Holmes.

The Speckled Band
The Speckled Band John Walsh Writers of crime stories have to make the reader feel tense and excited to keep them interested. Arthur Conan Doyle makes the story interesting and tense by introducing key scenes which include firstly at Baker Street when Holmes rushes into Watson's bedroom, Dr. Roylotts sudden arrival, Dr. Roylotts brutal behaviour towards his young servant, Holmes and Watson's meeting with the baboon, Dr. Roylotts light goes on and they hear a hissing sound in the background, Holmes suddenly jumps up and attacks the snake, they find Dr. Roylott dead in his chair with the snake wrapped around his head. Helen looks very pale, she wears black all the time and her behaviour is as if she is frightened and very nervous and quoted "her face all drawn and grey with restless frightened eyes like those of some hunted animal". Dr. Roylotts appearance is of a very huge looking man and his behaviour is very powerful and threatening. An example of this is when he bends the iron poker with his bare hands. Holmes' appearance in his face is sometimes pale and tense and his behaviour sometimes nervous and dramatic. Helen's way of speaking is very nervy and frightened and quoted "it is fear, Mr. Holmes, it is terror". Dr. Roylotts language is very threatening and violent as quoted " I am a dangerous man to fall foul of!" Holmes' way of speaking is often dramatic,
19th Century Prose- Detective Essay.
9th Century Prose- Detective Essay. Sherlock Holmes is the original fictional detective, and the most famous. Everybody knows Sherlock and Watson and their stories. After the Sherlock stories there have been thousands of 'Stereotypical' and 'Cheesy' detectives. But did all these authors copy Arthur Conan Doyle, and to what extent is Sherlock Holmes the original 'Archetypal' detective. Sherlock Holmes has several methods and styles of detection, which make him a good private detective. He is a master of disguise; he can fool anybody, even his closest counterpart, Watson. He assumes a character often to infiltrate somewhere, or snoop about without it being known he is a private detective. "It was not merely that Holmes changed his costume, his expression, his manner his very soul seemed to vary with every fresh part that he assumed". This shows how skilled Holmes is at disguise. Many other fictional detectives have this trait, Philip Marloue uses disguise to get information. "I had my horn-rimmed glasses on, I put my voice high and let a bird twitter in it". Maybe he does not use disguise to the same extent as Sherlock but he still carries the trait. Holmes has the tendency to leave everyone in the dark about what is on his mind, the solution to the case. He waits until he knows every last detail befor revealing the mystery. Much like the modern television

Wilkie Collins is sometimes referred to as the ‘grandfather of English detective fiction’.
Wilkie Collins is sometimes referred to as the 'grandfather of English detective fiction'. The Moonstone was descibed by T. S. Eliot as 'the first and greatest of English detective novels'. Although technically preceded by Charles Felix's The Notting Hill Mystery (1865), The Moonstone can claim to have established the genre with several classic features of the twentieth-century detective story: * A country house robbery * An 'inside job' * A celebrated policeman with a touch of amiable eccentricity * Bungling local constabulary * Detective procedures * False suspects * 'The least likely suspect' * A rudimentary 'locked room' murder * A reconstruction of the crime * A final twist in the plot Wilkie Collins, according to Robert Ashley, can also claim the following: * The first British detective story ('A Stolen Letter', 1854) * The first appearance of a police officer ('A Terribly Strange Bed', 1852) * The first woman detective ('The Diary of Anne Rodway', 1856) * The first humorous detective story ('The Biter Bit', 1858) * The first canine detective ('My Lady's Money', 1877) Collins also influenced Conan Doyle whose Sherlock Holmes emulates many of the features of both Sergeant Cuff in The Moonstone and the pipe-smoking Old Sharon in 'My Lady's Money'. The 'three-pipe problem' of The Sign of Four was anticipated by Uncle Joseph's 'I smoke three

Sherlock Holmes Name - Sherlock Holmes D.O.B. - 6th January 1854- 1904 Address - 221b Baker Street London Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson lived in a Victorian lodging house at 221b Baker Street between 1881-1904, according to the stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The house was built in 1815 and is listed by the Government to protect its architectural and cultural heritage. Sherlock Holmes's hawk-like features and piercing eyes, the dressing-gown and pipe, the deerstalker cap and magnifying glass - these details are so familiar that if he were to appear amongst us today we should know him at once. According to the published stories which first appeared in the Strand Magazine in 1891, he practised as a consulting detective between 1881-1904, while living at 221b Baker Street with his friend and colleague Doctor John H. Watson. Sherlock Holmes was "the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen", but he was not without feelings, because he appreciated the opera and classical music. He was however reserved towards women, because he felt their influence a distraction to his work, so he would not allow himself (and Watson) to become distracted by a romantic affair. Sherlock Holmes died sometime in 1904, and since then his home in Baker Street has been kept in excellent condition and people now walk around it and is a
