Question

In the early part of the past century, psychologists who broke down thought processes into their basic elements and analyzed them were called structuralists. What term might we use to describe psychologists with similar interests today?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is - Cognitive

Explanation:

Earlier psychologists were once known as structuralists. Structuralism was considered to be the first school of psychology which was described as a theory of consciousness. The foundation of Structuralism were created by Wundt Wilhelm and expanded on by his student Edward Bradford Titchener. Early scientists therefore where called structuralists.

However in contemporary psychology today, the term used to describe psychologist with similar interest to structuralism is Cognitive psychology as the both deal with the mind and consciousness.
