Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. It uses empirical methods like experiments and quantitative analysis to study how organisms' physical states, mental states, and external environments influence their behavior and thinking. Wilhelm Wundt is considered the founder of modern psychology because he established the first experimental laboratory in 1879 where he used controlled experiments and quantitative methods to study psychological structures and elements of the mind, treating it as an experimental science. This separated psychology from philosophy and established it as a distinct field of science.

The scientific study of behavior and mental processes and how they are affected by an organisms physical, state, mental state, and external environment.
What is psychology ? The scientific study of behavior and mental processes and how they are affected by an organisms physical, state, mental state, and external environment. Scientific study requires several things: 1.Theoretical framework 2.Testable Hypotheses 3.Empirical evidence
What is psychology ? The scientific study of behavior and mental processes and how they are affected by an organisms physical, state, mental state, and external environment. Behavior and mental processes include overt, observable instances but also include subtle kinds of instances, like brain activity.

Mental state does not have to be conscious - can study mental states in many creatures without their conscious awareness - and can be studied in terms of brain activity.

5 . Wundt was important because he separated psychology from philosophy by analyzing the workings of the mind in a more structured way, with the emphasis being on objective measurement and control. 6 . Wundt's aim was to record thoughts and sensations, and to analyze them into their constituent elements, in much the same way as chemist analyses chemical compounds, in order to get at the underlying structure. For this reason, the school of psychology founded by Wundt is known as structuralism.
7 . Wundt believed in reductionism. That is he believed consciousness could be broken down (or reduced) to its basic elements without sacrificing any of the properties of the whole. 8 . His greatest contribution was to show that psychology could be a valid experimental science. 9 . Wundt contributed to the development of psychology was to do his research in carefully controlled conditions, i.e. experimental methods.
10 . Wundt concentrated on three areas of mental functioning; thoughts, images and feelings. These are the basic areas studied today in cognitive psychology. This means that the study of perceptual processes can be traced back to Wundt. 11 . On the basis of his work, and the influence it had on psychologists who were to follow him, Wundt can be regarded as the founder of experimental psychology, so securing his place in the history of psychology.
What is Scientific Thinking ? 1. Critical thinking - assess claims on the basis of well-supported reasons and evidence - not on emotional or anecdotal reasoning. 2. Involves asking questions - one of the most important is, WHY? 3. Involves defining terms - must be clear and concrete .
What is Scientific Thinking ? 4. Involves examining evidence - Let me have my opinion! doesnt count . 5. Involves analyzing assumptions and biases - scientific thinkers do not take anything as proven fact and work hard to overcome their own biases in thinking
What is Scientific Thinking ? 6. Involves avoiding emotional reasoning - do not let gut feelings replace clear thinking - emotional conviction does not settle arguments . 7. Involves avoiding oversimplification - the obvious answer is often wrong and misleading - do not argue based on own anecdotal evidence
What is Scientific Thinking ? 8. Involves consideration of other interpretations - the best interpretations are supported by the most evidence and explain the most variables . 9. Involves tolerating uncertainty - sometimes evidence is unclear or does not even exist . 10. Involves asking questions that can be tested in this world .
