Answer 1

Answer:

Introspection, Titchener

Explanation:

Introspection is a process through which a person looking inwards and examines one's thoughts, feelings. It a controlled and well structured and scientific way to express one's feelings thought. It is a self-observation experiment. It was first developed by William Wundt. Wundt gives training to the people and observes to analyze the content of their thoughts.  

Edward Titchener is a wundt student who also utilizes this technique. In some way, he used the wundt technique in a wrong manner. Wundt was interested in showing the conscious experience of a person but Titchener was interested in breaking the mental components of a person. It is a great source of self-knowledge (introspection). Even it provides a piece of knowledge about a person which is not possible in another way.
