History of Psychology

Do we have free will to choose out actions or is our behaviour caused or determined by things outside of our control?

The mind-body problem of how mental and physical events interact with one another

The first psychological laboratory was founded in Germany by Wilhelm Wundt in 1879

Edward Titchener initiated the school of: Structuralism (uncovered the basic elements of consciousness through introspection, the process of looking inward and reporting on one's conscious experience)

William James, one of the founders of the school of: Functionalism (explains psychological processes in terms of the role, or function, they serve)
