Education history: Titchener attended The Prebendal School and Malvern College and then went on to Oxford(Brasenose College) from 1885 to 1890. He graduated with a rare 'double first' BA degree in classics in 1889. His interests began to change to biology.^[1] At Oxford, Titchener first began to read the works of Wilhelm Wundt. During his time at Oxford, Titchener translated the first volume of the third edition of Wundt's book Principles of Physiological Psychology from German into English. He spent an extra year at Oxford in 1890, working with John Scott Burdon-Sanderson, a physiologist to learn scientific methodology.^[1] Titchener went on to Leipzig in Germany to study with Wundt in autumn 1890. He completed his doctoral program in 1892 with a dissertation on binocular vision. In summer 1892 he returned to Oxford and Burdon-Sanderson where he taught in the Oxford Summer School.^[1]

Work history: Titchener’s ideas on how the mind worked were heavily influences by Wundt’s theory of voluntarism and his idea of Associztion and Apperception ( the passive and active combinations of elements of consciousness respectively).
