“… 3. Similar statements concerning psychology’s designated role as a hub science were presented by different 18th century authors (e.g., Etienne Bonnot Condillac, Gabriel Mingard, or Jean Trembley; for a detailed overview, see Fuchs & Evans, 2012; Vidal, 1993, 2000, 2011). None of these authors, however, promoted developments such as the denomination of a professorship for psychology or the implementation of psychology as an independent subject in academic curricula. …”

As early as 1783, the almost forgotten philosopher, metaphysicist, and psychologist Ferdinand Ueberwasser (1752-1812) designated himself "Professor für empirische Psychologie und Logik" (professor of empirical psychology and logic) at the University of Münster, Germany. His position was initiated and supported by the minister and educational reformer Franz von Fürstenberg (1729-1810), who considered psychology a core scientific discipline that should be taught at each school and university. At the end of the 18th century, then, psychology seems to have been on the verge of becoming an independent academic discipline, about 100 years before Wilhelm Wundt founded the discipline's first official laboratory. It seems surprising that Ueberwasser's writings-including a seminal textbook on empirical psychology-have been almost entirely overlooked in most historical accounts. We focus on this important founding moment of psychological science and on the circumstances that eventually brought this seminal development to a halt.

“…They then conducted the experiment simultaneously with the same interaction and stiffness conditions. The soft, middle and rigid stiffness levels {0.29, 1.72, 17.02}Nm/rad of [18] were used here to allow performance comparison, and five additional intermediate levels were selected according to Fechner's law [30] . The Hi5 interface was controlled at 1000 Hz, while wrist angle data was recorded at 100 Hz.…”

The last decades have seen a surge of robots for physical training and work assistance. How to best control these interfaces is unknown, although arguably the interaction should be similar to human movement assistance. Methods: We compare the behaviour and assessment of subjects tracking a moving target with assistance from (i) trajectory guidance (as typically used in robots for physical training), (ii) a human partner, and (iii) the reactive robot partner of Takagi et al. Results: Trajectory guidance was recognised as robotic, while the robot partner was felt as human-like. However, trajectory guidance was preferred to assistance from a human partner, which was recognised as less predictable. The robot partner also was felt to be more predictable and helpful than a human partner, and was preferred. Conclusions: While subjects like to rely on predictable interaction, such as in trajectory guidance, the control reactivity of the robot partner is essential for perceiving an interaction as human-like. INDEX TERMS Physical interaction, human-human, human-robot, haptic Turing test, performance and perception. IMPACT STATEMENT This comparison of control strategies for physical human-robot interaction shows that reactivity to the user's movements is essential to inducing and feeling human-like assistance.

“…Human instinct cannot be altogether killed since the planner of the framework should indicate how the information are to be spoken to and what instruments will be utilized to look for a portrayal of the information [5]. AI can be seen as an endeavor to robotize parts of the logical technique [9]. It is used in changing the overall approach of the psychology i.e., going from explanatory to predictive and now-a-days prediction is all about machine learning.…”

This research yielded a profoundly persuasive publication were the authors indicated how FB-based practices (i.e., likes) could be utilized to distinguish private attributes with high exactness [9].…”

Human brain is more complex than any other known structure in the universe. Millions and trillions of information like the memories are stored, habits learned, and personalities are shaped in it. To know how all this work and to know how mind basically respond on certain events, Psychology came in action. Most of the work in this field is based upon the history and impressions while major treatment is done using guess work, even the best psychiatrists choose the correct treatment for a given patient only about 37% which we ultimately want to improve. So, this paper presents the major connection between computer science and psychology and how machine learning can change the overall approach and methods in the treatment of mental health and in the understanding of psychology.
