Edward Bradford Titchener
Edward B. Titchener is known to have been a chief advocate of controlled laboratory experiments in psychology in the United States in the field's earliest days. His intensive education as an experimental psychologist took place over 2 years under Wilhelm Wundt's supervision in Leipzig. Wundt was the major figure in the “new psychology” of the time, which indeed emphasized controlled laboratory experiments. This article describes Titchener's trans…

In 1885, Titchener entered Brasenose College, Oxford, where his social and academic life included membership in clubs dedicated to science in general and to biology in particular. In his third year (1888) he began to think about “mental philosophy” and studied psychology in his senior year. After graduation he devoted a year to learning laboratory procedures in the conduct of research in physiology. That experience and his Oxford education played…

Psychology as a Science
A scientific psychology emerged from the intellectual awakenings of the Reformation of the 16th century and of the Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries. The methods of the science of that era emphasized observation, classification of phenomena, and induction; in the 19th century, psychologists adapted laboratory experiments to the study of mind. The laboratory of Wilhelm Wundt, founded in 1879 at the University of Leipzig, symbolized the …

Georg von Békésy
Georg von Békésy received the Nobel Prize in 1961 for his research on the functioning of the auditory system. In psychoacoustics, Békésy both extended and perfected the lines of research begun by von Helmholtz in the 19th century. First in his native Hungary and later at Harvard, Békésy used novel and imaginative devices and methods to observe and model the functioning of the inner ear. He also explored the nature of sensory inhibition by which t…
Psychological instruments at the turn of the century
Psychology at the turn of the last century was primarily a natural science in its approach. Its goals paralleled those of experimental physiology and physics that had been so successful earlier in the 19th century. The use of scientific instruments to produce stimuli and record responses in psychological experiments became the hallmark for this new psychology of the laboratory. The origins, role, and significance of some of these instruments are …

The origins of Titchener's doctrine of meaning
E. B. Titchener's position on meaning was an important determinant of many of his theoretical and systematic positions. The traditional view that Titchener developed the doctrine of meaning to oppose the Würzburg work on imageless thought is rejected for a more gradual development during the 1890s. This development is represented as an outgrowth of observations concerning apperceptive consciousness and in Titchener's attempt to demonstrate that s…
