Schools of Thought Psychology 1A
1.Structuralism
Edward Titchener (1867–1927)
introspection – the subjective
observation of one’s own experiences
Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt - (1832–1920), consciousness
Consciousness is the state of being aware and it encompasses awareness of the
environment around us, bodily sensations, thoughts and behaviour.
2.Functionalism
Functionalism—disagreement to structuralism
Functionalism focused on investigating the function or the purpose of consciousness,
rather than analysing its structure
William James (1842–1910) opened an experimental psychology laboratory for his courses.
Rather than focusing on the components of the
mind, functionalism concentrated on what the mind does and how behaviour operates
3.Behaviourism
John Broadus Watson
was the first person to study how the process of learning affects
behaviour
he formed the school of thought known as behaviourism
Burrhus Frederic
Skinner (1904–1990), Skinner-Behaviorist (Founded the Skinner Box)
mood and thoughts are too subjective
observable external behaviour should be apparent.
the environment, not the characteristics of the individual, plays a vital role in shaping
learning and behaviour
Behaviourism focuses on the relation between observable behaviour and environmental
events or stimuli
Skinner
developed the theory of how voluntary behaviour is learnt, called operant conditioning
