He wanted to however use the empirical scientific techniques used by the physical sciences to study the mind. After establishing the worlds first psychological laboratory, and the first textbook (worlds first books on psychology) Wundt's use of scientific methods helped establish psychology as an independent field of scientific INTROSPECTION: This was the technique that wundt used in his research Introspection was the process of looking into yourself and rejecting the conscious side of your brain so that you can look even deeper. Method of introspection: 1) participants are trained to report conscious experiences as objectively as possible 2) participants would be asked to focus on a sensory object, often a ticking metronome Wundt - Father of psychology. 3  3) participants would systematically report their experiences of the object by breaking their thoughts into separate elements; participants would focus inward and report sensation, feelings and images Wundt did the above in carefully controlled experimental conditions and environment. Introspection is not direct observation however as we cannot directly see into the brain and all of the mental processes; Wundt made inferences, which means making a guess or an answer that is based on all of the information presented. (this is a limitation of Introspection) Therefore arguably they could be wrong Summary Evaluating Wundt and the origins of psychology. Good. Bad. - For his time, Wundt’s work was highly scientific, primarily because of how carefully controlled they were, with large sample sizes and the transparent methods he used - Wundt’s introspective methods are highly - introspection does however remain relevant subjective and are not classified as truly for studying unobservable mental processes scientific, this is because participants such as emotional states and is also used in cannot be relied to truly accurately report various forms of therapy. their mental states as it may be biased. - Idea that behaviours are determined so they - have a cause that can be studied objectively. - introspection has led to many biological treatments in mental health Wundt - Father of psychology. 4  Summary History of Psychology - timeline. category time about origins of Wundt - father of psychology, created the first 1870 psychology psychology lab and the first ever textbook.

Emphasises the role of the mental processes and has the theoretical models. Research has advanced scientifically and significantly. Genetic sequencing, associations have Biological 1980 been made between gene variants and behavior, psychology fMRI scanners detect the location of activity in the living brain.
