Detailed explanation-1: -Why is Wilhelm Wundt often considered the first scientific psychological researcher? He gathered data through experiments in his lab. In Wilhelm Wundt’s experiments, participants were asked to press a key as soon as they were consciously aware of perceiving a sound.
Detailed explanation-2: -(A) Wundt used the technique of introspection to research his theory of structuralism. He did not use naturalistic observation and inferential and scientific are general terms that might be applied to many different types of research.
Detailed explanation-3: -In doing so, he separated psychology from philosophy and biology and became the first person to be called a psychologist. Wundt’s approach became known as structuralism because he used experimental methods to find the basic building blocks (structures) of thought and investigate how they interacted.
Detailed explanation-4: -Structuralism was the first school of psychology and focused on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components. Researchers tried to understand the basic elements of consciousness using a method known as introspection.
