Structuralism (psychology) Edward B. Titchener, along with Wilhelm Wundt, is credited for the theory of structuralism. It is considered to be the first "school" of psychology[4][5].

Titchener attempted to classify the structures of the mind, like chemists classify the elements of nature, into the nature.[6]
