  Human Intelligence: Edward Bradford Titchener
The acknowledged leader of structuralism, Titchener was rated as the most distinguished psychologist in the United States, its most representative experimentalist, and an inspiring teacher who guided many of his pupils in the direction of scientific procedure.
Titchener refused to consider applied psychology a valid enterprise and had no interest in studying animals, children, abnormal behavior, or individual differences.
For Titchener, psychology was the study of experience from the point of view of the experiencing individual.

Edward Bradford Titchener was born on January 11, 1867, in Chichester, England.
Edward's father, John, was the younger of two boys and had no inheritance on which to rely, so he traveled to America to seek his fortune.
Titchener declared that the rest of American psychology fell under the category of functionalism, which was interested in understanding the mind.

 Pioneers of Psychology [2001 Tour] - School of Education & Psychology
Titchener held firmly to his conviction that Cornell graduates in psychology formed a group, unified by their shared psychological orientations and therefore differentiated from the rest of the psychological world.
Titchener's view has sometimes been referred to as existential psychology, since experiences are studied by him as existences, i.e., as facts deserving of study for their own sake.
Titchener later postulated that these attributes might be the datum of observation, while sensation was only a systematic classificatory device almost without existential reality.°° Attributes, once they become the object of direct study, were the "systematic concepts" that stood up under observation.

 APS Observer - Distinguishing Experiment and Research From Philosophy
Titchener held that by meticulous description of the facts of experience, separated from their meanings, one could build a cohesive and comprehensive system of psychology from the simplest sensations to the highest mental processes.
In 1920 at Cornell, just before one of Titchener's classes, a group of the faculty and graduate students gathered together with Titchener, as was their habit, for informal discussion.
One of Titchener's major contributions was establishing a formal obituary series, brought on by the increasing number of deaths of the early generation of psychologists by the early 1920s Titchener established a series of balanced, scholarly obituaries to replace the very brief and often merely salutatory notices that had been produced under the Hall regime.

The what was to be learned through introspection, the how was an answer to how the elements would combine and the why was to involve a search for the neurological correlates of mental life.
Titchener's subjects needed to describe, in detail, the basic, elements of their experiences, while avoiding applying metaphysical "meaning" - stimulus error.
Titchener felt attention was simply an attribute of sensation (clarity) - and were attributable to nothing more than muscle contractions.

Titchener's positivism was evident in his single-minded concern with the phenomena of conscious experience.
The primary difference between Titchener's new scientific psychology and the old empirical psychology of the mental philosophers was the addition, in Titchener's case, of rigorous scientific method and an emphasis on the facts of experience generated by this method.
For Titchener, sentiment was 'the total affective experience which arises when we face a situation by...means of judgment;'408 but judgment was itself a type of successive association between ideas; and ideas, of course, consisted in turn of complexes of sensations.

 Cognitive Psychology
Born in 1867, Edward Titchener was a follower of the psychological teachings of Wilhelm Wundt.
Titchener's view was based on his belief that all consciousness was capable of being reduced to three states: sensations, which are the basic elements of perception; images, which are the pictures formed in our minds to characterize what is perceived; and affections, which are the constituents of emotions.
Edward Tolman was known for "his work that centered around demonstrating that animals had both expectations and internal representations that guided their behavior." (Galotti, 1994) He believed that rats used a cognitive map in order to complete the maze instead of memorization.

Still, Titchener's saturation in the English psychology and particularly the influence on him by the positivistic views of Hume, Spencer, and John Stewart Mill, caused Titchener to question Wundt's idealistic view.
This was the position Titchener took as his own and which he held as prior to the other systematic approaches.

 The evolution of experimental psychology
Edward B. Titchener's four-volume "Experimental Psychology," published between 1901 and 1905, blocked out the limits of experimental psychology as a subject at the time.
Titchener's book remained influential throughout the 1920s and into the 1930s, though it had competition from others.
When Titchener's book was finally eclipsed by Robert S. Woodworth's 1938 "Experimental Psychology," Woodworth's organization was primarily by subject matter with methodology being a somewhat secondary consideration.

The American psychologist William James criticized structuralism, arguing that sensations cannot be separated from the mental associations that allow us to benefit from past experiences.
