Possible discussion points:
first to open a laboratory designated to the scientific study of psychological enquiry
under controlled conditions facilitating accurate measurements and replication
focus was on trying to understand psychological processes of perception etc and
structuralism rather than philosophical or biological processes
he later recognised that higher mental processes were difficult to study using his
procedures and this encouraged others to look for more appropriate methods and
techniques, paving the way for approaches such as scanning
introspection still used today in areas such as therapy and studying emotional
states demonstrating its value as one way mental processes can be investigated
issues of determinism and predictability could be presented as a strength or
limitation.
Credit other relevant discussion.
