were already so many unanswered questions from the previous theorist, that his speech answered answers that others had never thought of. He suggested that psychology was built on the wrong foundation. He stated that the use of archaic methods and inappropriate subject matter was the downfall of psychology. Instead we should focus on making psychology more uniform. The use of medical or scientific terminology and methods seemed to be the beginning, and the use of objective studies led the way. This concept
Wundt's theories and founded the the school of thought known as Structuralism. Where Wundt was concerned with studying consciousness, Titchener simply wanted to describe an individual's current thoughts at any point in time. Within Titchener’s psychology of Structuralism, he believed that all thoughts can be broken down to basic elements, specifically, sensations. Titchener would say that when you identified the object, you put together memories of sensations from your past

The importance was a philosophical one, with decent theorists like philosopher impacting Plato, who successively influenced philosopher. Gradually within the mid-1800s, the scientific
occurred in the development of cognitive psychology. The study of neuroscience brings us to what we know about cognition today. Cognitive psychology came from the criticisms and flaws of behaviorism. The focus of behaviorism is on observable behaviors, although cognitive psychology became a means to studying mental processes.
