- early school of thought promoted by Wundt and Titchener, used introspection to reveal the structure of the human mind
- wundt also opened the first psychology lab in Germany]]> 2020-08-18 12:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/an0vrcd3c6ye/wish/684584112 Strengths https://padlet.com/patty_weber/an0vrcd3c6ye/wish/684584510 Humans often gain knowledge now through different experiences. How humans learn by experiencing it will make it more upfront in their memory and will make the learning more personal. 
Observation and experimental studies are often used to collect data. This data is often used to help in studies in which these pieces of data are needed to prove or disprove a hypothesis. ]]> 2020-08-18 12:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/an0vrcd3c6ye/wish/684584510 Weaknesses https://padlet.com/patty_weber/an0vrcd3c6ye/wish/684584592 Because he claims knowledge must come from experience, people refute this idea because how people perceive different events can allow for some variation of how different experiences should effect the human body and mind.

It focuses on how these processes enable an organism to adapt, survive, and flourish.

They were exploring how mental and behavioral processes function and how they enable the organism to adapt, survive, and flourish. So it showed the human race in a better light. ]]> 2020-08-18 12:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/an0vrcd3c6ye/wish/684614123 Weaknesses https://padlet.com/patty_weber/an0vrcd3c6ye/wish/684615832 When you’re looking at an entire race, everyone is different, we don’t all adapt the same way
