Today I have came upon some further reading of another interesting figure often studied in the field of psychology and this would be Mr. Edward Titchener, who I would like to talk about a little further. Titchener was an English man and a student of Wilhelm Wundt before he was a Professor of Psychology and before he created a psychology laboratory at Cornell University. Titchener was educated in Europe and interestingly he also liked to put a spin on Wilhelm Wundt's work about the psychology of consciousness once Titchener traveled to the United States. Titchener translated and brought into the English the concept of empathy, which had been created and coined in German by Robert Vischer. Titchener tried to classify the structures of the mind and this method became known as structuralism-("structuralism is about analyzing a specific field (for instance, mythology) as a complex system of interrelated parts"). And one last fact for now on this blog, a fun fact as well, was that Titchener's brain was contributed to the Wilder Brain Collection at Cornell. I think Titcheners work makes a lot of sense to me and is it interesting how influential his work has been like coining in English the word Empathy.
