Functionalism
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Functionalism asked what mental processes are for — how consciousness helps an organism adapt to its environment.
Show
William James treated habit as useful rather than as an element, asking what a habit does for the person who has it.
Watch for
Functionalism is a question, not a school of measurement. It reframed psychology's subject without settling its method.
