Describe and understand historical developments in psychology such as structuralism, behaviorism, and the cognitive revolution.
Answer:
Psychology has developed through several schools of thought including structuralism (often contrasted with functionalism), behaviorism, cognitive psychology, evolutionary psychology/sociobiology/behavioral genetics, plus others.
Structuralism, developed by Titchener, Wundt, and others, was one of the early schools of psychology, building on the notion of introspection to understand the shape of one’s mind.
This yielded some early underpinnings for the scientific analysis of thinking.
