Question

Titchener opposed the development of areas such as child psychology and animal psychology because psychology should instead be interested in curing sick minds these areas were more subject to the stimulus error he supported applying psychological knowledge these areas did not focus on discovering the structures of mind None of these answers is correct

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: these areas did not focus on discovering the structures of mind.

Explanation:

Titchener put aside child psychology and animal psychology, separating them from the main body, which we saw Wundt did not do. Titchener did not deny the study of the behavior of children and animals provided valuable information; rather, he denied that the information provided was psychological.

Titchener not only maintained that psychology should be experimental, it also held that it should be pure.

As he saw it, scientists had to stay out of considerations about the practical value of what they are doing. Consequently, I never accept that works on individual differences made by Cattell and others were an important contribution to psychology. I approve of the notion that the function of psychology was the search for means to help sick minds. He denied in a caustic way the possibility of someone becoming a psychologist through a defective untrained self-examination process.
