Introspective Methods in Early Experimental Psychology
Friday, 9 May 2025
10:15am ET, 3:15pm GMT, 4:15pm CETAbstract:
Early experimental psychology (roughly, 1860-1920) marked the beginning of scientific psychology: psychological investigation that is modelled on systematic observation-based investigations characteristic of natural science. It meant deployment of an experimental method in pursuit of scientific explanations of psychological phenomena. Also typical was the use of introspection as part of the experimental method and it is for this reason that early experimental psychology is often considered to be Introspectionist Psychology. Yet, even in its initial phase, experimental psychology featured a great variety of approaches, and this includes significant differences in the role played by introspection. My aim in the talk is to bring to light a fascinating period in the history of psychology and, on this basis, raise important questions about the relationship between method and background theory in contemporary empirical and philosophical investigations of the mind.
