Human behaviour: the raw data of psychology
In a
similar way, psychologists use human behaviour as a clue to the workings
of the mind. Although we cannot observe the mind directly, everything
we do, think, feel and say is determined by the functioning of the mind.
So psychologists take human behaviour as the raw data for testing their
theories about how the mind works.Since the German psychologist Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) opened the first experimental psychology lab in Leipzig in 1879, we have learned an enormous amount about the relationship between brain, mind and behaviour.
