Structuralism (structural psychology)

a set of ideas of the Anglo-American psychologist E. Titchener in the field of the theory of consciousness. According to his ideas, the purpose of psychology is to study the structure of consciousness and its structure, breaking it down into component elements, the further fragmentation of which is impossible. In his concept, in addition to sensations and sensations (according to Wundt), Titchener also considered representations (“traces of previous sensations”) to be elements of consciousness. He proposed a more rigorous method of introspective analysis – the method of analytical introspection. Having no applied significance, structural psychology was a pure science.
