Question

Wm. James (1890) supported functionalism instead of what approach?

Answer 1

Wm. James followed the functionalism rather than the previously established school of thought known as structuralism. James's approach focused on the purpose of consciousness rather than the elements of it. His approach was centered around the person, and had some major impacts on education at the time.
