Question 68 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which of the following statements is not true about the early history of psychology?

Answer
A
Psychology has its foundations in philosophy and physiology.
B
The first psychological laboratory was established by Wilhelm Wundt in 1879.
C
The first two major schools of thought were functionalism and behaviorism.
D
Psychoanalytic theory was one of many approaches that emerged in psychology.

Explanation

The first major schools of thought in psychology were structuralism and functionalism. Behaviorism developed later, so the statement naming functionalism and behaviorism as the first two major schools is not true. The other statements correctly describe psychology’s philosophical and physiological roots, Wundt’s laboratory in 1879, and the emergence of psychoanalytic theory.
