===Titchener=== [[Edward B. Titchener|Edward Titchener]] was an early pioneer in experimental psychology and a student of Wilhelm Wundt.<ref name="Schultz" /> After earning his doctorate under Wundt at the University of Leipzig, he made his way to [[Cornell University]], where he established his own laboratory and research.<ref name="Schultz" /> When Titchener arrived at Cornell in 1894, psychology was still a fledgling discipline, especially in the United States, and he was a key figure in bringing Wundt's ideas to America. However, Titchener misrepresented some of Wundt's ideas to the American psychological establishment, especially in his account of introspection which, Titchener taught, only served a purpose in the [[Qualitative research|qualitative]] analysis of [[consciousness]] into its various parts,<ref name="Schultz" /> while Wundt saw it as a means to [[Quantitative research|quantitatively]] measure the whole of conscious experience.<ref name="Schultz" /> Titchener was exclusively interested in the individual components that comprise conscious experience, while Wundt, seeing little purpose in the analysis of individual components, focused on synthesis of these components. Titchener's ideas formed the basis of the short-lived psychological theory of [[Structuralism (psychology)|structuralism]].<ref name="Schultz" />
