Wilhelm Wundt made extensive use of introspection in his work. He enforced stringent
experimental conditions, extensive training, replication of results, and controlled manipulation of the
stimulus. In this respect, his introspective work laid a lot of the groundwork for later psychological
experiments across a number of sub-disciplines.
Some of Wundt’s rules were as follows: (1) he tended to heavily focus on quantitative judgment
(e.g., speed, weight) rather than qualitative judgments (e.g., aversiveness); (2) observers must
know when the process or stimulus begins and ends; (3) observers must be ready and paying
careful attention; (4) the observations and experiments must be replicable; (5) it must be possible
to manipulate the stimulus (or stimuli) in a controlled way.
Following these rules, design and conduct your own simple introspection experiment and record the
results. You will be reporting your results in this assignment so be sure to record your methods and
your results. (Pages 148-151 in your text may help.)
Write up a simple 1 to 2 page paper in APA format reporting on your simple introspective
experiment. Remember, in APA format you will begin with a title page, followed by an abstract on
its own page, and then an introduction, method, results, discussion, and a reference page. Be sure
to double space, use Times New Roman 12-point font, and 1 margins all around.
An important part of your introduction will involve a little context about what introspection is, and
justifications behind why you used it. This is most likely where the need for at least a couple of
outside references will come in. Make your references academically credible (this means do not use
Wikipedia or an Internet page, magazine, or newspaper article).
