In particular, historians of psychology tend to argue 1) that introspection once was the dominant method of psychological inquiry, 2) that behaviorism, and in particular [[John B. Watson]], was responsible for discrediting introspection as a valid method, and 3) that scientific [[psychology]] completely abandoned introspection as a result of those critiques.<ref name="Costal 2006 634–654"/> However, introspection may not have been the dominant method. It was widely believed to be dominant because [[Edward B. Titchener|Edward Titchener]]'s student [[Edwin G. Boring]], in his influential historical accounts of experimental psychology, privileged Titchener's views while giving little credit to original sources.<ref name="Costal 2006 634–654"/> Introspection has been critiqued by many other psychologists, including [[Wilhelm Wundt]] and [[Knight Dunlap]], who presented a non-behaviorist argument against self-observation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dunlap |first=Knight |date=1912 |title=Discussion: The case against introspection. |url=https://doi.apa.org/doi/10.1037/h0071571 |journal=Psychological Review |language=en |volume=19 |issue=5 |pages=404–413 |doi=10.1037/h0071571 |issn=1939-1471|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Introspection is still widely used in psychology, but now implicitly, as self-report surveys, interviews and some fMRI studies are based on introspection.<ref name="Clegg 2013"/>{{rp|4}} It is not the method but rather its name that has been dropped from the dominant psychological vocabulary.
