Structuralism & Functionalism

This video goes over the two earliest perspectives in modern psychology: structuralism and functionalism.
I talk about the focus of those perspectives and how they have influenced the modern science of psychology.
Topics discussed include:
Structuralism
Wilhelm Wundt
Introspection
Functionalism
Natural Selection's influence on Functionalism

[@heradabic8882]

this is the only channel that actually cleared up my mind about functionalism. Thank you so much

[@skepsy9242]

You're very welcome. Please check out the other videos I have on a whole range of topics for General Psychology classes.

[@salesafalesene1077]

Thank you for simplifying a whole chapter on Structuralism and Functionalism, much appreciated.

[@skepsy9242]

Glad it was helpful!

Really great video! Have an exam in History of Psychology in an hour and just cramming some last minute stuff. Really like the straightforward and ‘simple’ format of the video. Not over the top or trying to grab your attention with huge transitions. Thanks a lot!

[@skepsy9242]

That's awesome! Thanks so much for watching and I hope it helped you do your best on the exam.

[@bigol7169]

Fantastic! I’m a first year Psychology student at the University of Sydney ! Gday from Australia!

[@skepsy9242]

Awesome! I am so happy you found my channel. Huge coincidence, but I was actually some of Dorothy Rowe's work for my upcoming videos on social psychology and depression. She's such a great psychologist and I love trying to move away from an overly American dominated viewpoint.

[@siyasingh6076]

I have watched around 5 videos but this was the only one in which I finally understood with so much clarity. Thank you for your service.

[@skepsy9242]

Hey, thanks for this! It was informative, interesting, and enriching. Plus I am always glad to hear from other big bearded dude who loves psychology. :)

[@skepsy9242]

Ha....ha...... long history of the beard in psychology. I mean just look at the thumbnail for this video. Although I would consider Pavlov possible the OG in the facial hair department.
