History of Psychology
The foundations
Structuralism
•
•
•
•
•
William Wundt (“Vundt”)
European school of thought
First psychological laboratory
Introspection – look within
Process:
– Use senses to describe something
– Recall emotional experiences
related to something
– Break down consciousness to its
smallest parts
Structuralism
• Problems:
– Research was done by selfreporting
– Act of recalling something
automatically changes the
experience
– Everyone had unique
experiences, hard to make
generalizations
– Highly subjective
Structuralism
• Describe IN DETAIL the
candy and then eating the
candy with all 5 senses.
(touch, sound, look, color,
act of chewing, taste)
• Describe how eating the
candy made you feel, what
it made you think about.

Functionalism
• William James
• Opposed to structuralism
• Believed you could not break down
consciousness to analyze from
within
• Sought to understand how
behavior/consciousness worked
together to help people adapt and
survive in their environments.
• Helped establish more scientific
research methods (observation,
survey)
• American school (pragmatism)
Functionalism
• Did you like the candy?
Why or why not?
• What foods do you
dislike and why?
• Is there a food you’ve
ever had that made you
sick? Did you ever eat it
again?
• What might that reaction
help you stay alive?

Psychoanalysis
• Based in structuralism
• Focused on the
conscious mind and the
interaction between the
conscious and the
unconscious
• Ego (social expectations),
Superego (own decision
making), Id (unconscious)
Psychoanalyis
• Where you ever told to
not eat a piece of candy
before dinner? (social
expectations)
• Did you take the candy
anyway in order to gratify
yourself (the id– not
because you needed it)?
• How did that make you
feel?
Behaviorism
• John Watson,
B.F.Skinner, Ivan
Pavlov
• Behavior is the result
of a response to
stimuli (positive or
negative
reinforcement)
Behaviorism
• If I give you a piece of candy
every time you raise your
hand, will you be more
motivated to raise your hand?
What if I give you a piece of
candy not every time, but
randomly?
• You want more candy
(because of the positive
reinforcement) or you never
want to have that candy again
(because of the negative
reinforcement).
Pavlov – Classical conditioning
• Classical Conditioning
– Unconditional stimulus
– Unconditional response
– Conditioned stimulus
– Conditioned response
Skinner –Operant Conditioning
• Operant Conditioning: response to
rewards and punishments
• Only look at observable causes for
behavior
