| What did Wundt do? | established the first psychology lab in 1879. the aim was to describe the nature of the human consciousness in a scientific environment. |
| what was introspection? | the first systematic experimental attempt to study the mind by breaking up conscious awareness into basic structures of thoughts, images and sensations. (isolating the structure of consciousness in this way is called structuralism) |
| What were standardised structures/ | standardised instructions given to all ppts, and procedures could be replicated. Eg. ticking metronome - report their thoughts etc. |
| Why did early behaviourists reject introspection? (1900s) | It was subjective, and it varied from person to person, according to behaviourist approach, 'scientific' psychology should only study things that can be observed and measured. |
| What approach dominated the 1930s? | Skinner and bahaviourist scientific approach. focus on learning and controlled lab studies. |
| In the 1950s how did the cognitive approach use scientific measures to study mental processes? | mental processes were seen as 'private' but psychologists could make inferences about how these work based on tests done in labs. |
| In the 1990s how did the biological approach introduce technological advances? | They began to record brain activity using scanning techniques such as fMRI and EEG and advanced genetic research. |
| Strengths of Wundt's methods | scientific. standardised procedures. Means that modern psychology can claim to be scientific as it has the same aims as natural sciences. |
| Limitations of Wundt's methods | Relied on self-reporting and subjective data, efforts were naive. Not all approaches use scientific methods, eg. humanistic approach (interested in subjective experience) |
