23. Vocabulary Cards Term: Structuralism Chapter & Pg #: Prologue, Pg. 3 Definition: Edward Titchener, late 1800s Titcheners goal of looking to discover the minds structure. Used introspection to help people report their feelings as they experienced various things (i.e. immediate sensations, images, etc). Example: Although unreliable, the idea of understanding the working of the mind will evolve into the field of cognitive psychology.

24. Vocabulary Cards Term: Functionalism Chapter & Pg #: Prologue, Pg 3 Definition: William James, late 1800s The adaptive behavior of thinking was used for human survival; therefore, it has evolved over time. Understanding consciousness will help us to consider our past, adjust to our present, and plan our future.
