When Did Psychological Science Begin?
• 1879 – University of Leipzig, Germany
• Wilhelm Wundt –

Edward Titchener
• Student of Wundt
• Introduced structuralism
![Page 7: The Old World’s Fascination with Abnormality: Trephining/Trepanning Evidence of trephining found all over the ancient world: Ancient Egypt Far and Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e655503460f94b5feef/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Issues with STRUCTURALISM
• Requires smart verbal people (bias?)• Unreliable because results, like
experiences, vary from person to person– No way to standardize it
• People’s recollections of actual events frequently err– Boston Massacre

William James
• Consider the functions of our feelings and thoughts
• Functionalism: • Heavily influenced by Darwin (adaptive nature of
functionalism)• Responsible for introducing psychology to the
educated public (bias?)
