Question

The criticisms directed at the method of introspection were more relevant to Titchener's method of observation than they were to Wundt's method.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wundt's method of introspection (or self-observation) involved trained subjects reporting their conscious experience in response to controlled stimuli, and was therefore less susceptible to the criticisms directed at Titchener's method of introspection, which relied more on untrained individuals reporting on their own conscious experience. Titchener's method was criticized for being subjective, unreliable, and difficult to verify, while Wundt's method was seen as being more scientific and objective.
