Describing your experience at ocean by saying it
cold or windy.

6. TETCHIER
Psychology can be regarded as science of consciousness
or study of experience
Law of association
Consciousness or experience can be broken or analyzed
intro three basic elements; physical sensations, feeling and
images such as memories or dreams.
Adopted introspection as main technique.

7. CRITICISM
Unable to cover all aspects of human behavior such
as motivation, individual differences and abnormal
behavior.
Function involves structures and structure of mind
can be explained through its parts ,not its process
Introspection method used by structuralism for
studying behavior can neither be regarded as
objective reliable and valid since each introspection
method may be found to describe his own sensory
experience in subjective way
