Structuralism & Functionalism

This video goes over the two earliest perspectives in modern psychology: structuralism and functionalism.
I talk about the focus of those perspectives and how they have influenced the modern science of psychology.
Topics discussed include:
Structuralism
Wilhelm Wundt
Introspection
Functionalism
Natural Selection's influence on Functionalism

This is the best video on youtube explaining these two perspectives, thank you so much!

[@skepsy9242]

Amazing to hear! Thank you so much for your kind words.

Really great video! Have an exam in History of Psychology in an hour and just cramming some last minute stuff. Really like the straightforward and ‘simple’ format of the video. Not over the top or trying to grab your attention with huge transitions.
Thanks a lot!

[@skepsy9242]

That's awesome! Thanks so much for watching and I hope it helped you do your best on the exam.

[@user-zj7bu8ow2j]

You have a real talent for explaining things !

[@skepsy9242]

You are too kind. Thank you so much for your support!

I have watched around 5 videos but this was the only one in which I finally understood with so much clarity. Thank you for your service.

[@skepsy9242]

You're very welcome!

Fantastic! I’m a first year Psychology student at the University of Sydney ! Gday from Australia!

[@skepsy9242]

Awesome! I am so happy you found my channel. Huge coincidence, but I was actually some of Dorothy Rowe's work for my upcoming videos on social psychology and depression. She's such a great psychologist and I love trying to move away from an overly American dominated viewpoint.

[@user-zj7bu8ow2j]

Die Zusammenhänge sind sehr gut erklärt, dank dir hab Ichs verstanden + really appreciate your style of explaining
