This is the very same method used by scientists in other disciplines such as biology, chemistry and physics. This video covers how the scientific method is used to test an explanation about an observation you makeRun Time: 11:48
Introduction to Introspection
As noted in Chapter 1, the history of experimental psychology began in Leipzig, Germany with the work of Wilhelm Wundt. Although Wundt used a variety of methods to study things like sensation and perception (including experiments), one technique he and others used was introspection. Introspection involved a research subject providing detailed descriptions of his (only men served as subjects) mental states and processes of various stimuli. This video provides a history of introspection, focusing on Wundt and Titchener. Run Time: 6:54
