Like it says in the book "his method was to engage people
    in self-reflective introspection". This means he had people explain their experiences through the physical experience they had. In other words his theory was people can explain their emotional or mental state by past, or present experiences they had physically. - Taylor W]]>     2020-08-17 15:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/y21ydgcjtrlr/wish/682965592     strengths https://padlet.com/patty_weber/y21ydgcjtrlr/wish/682965754  sought  relationships between internal states and external behaviors.]]> 2020-08-17 15:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/y21ydgcjtrlr/wish/682965754 weaknesses https://padlet.com/patty_weber/y21ydgcjtrlr/wish/682966164 he was unconvinced that psychology was in fact a distinct discipline.
