The basis on which human psychology was generally considered was that structuralism, functionalism and behaviorism. Structuralism was the analysis of human experiences – to be more specific vision, affects and sensation. More importantly, it was all the three which were only studied during when one was conscious enough to see and experience them. The non expressed versions of these were not included in these observations.Functionalism came later at around 1850 odd. This advocated that one can determine behavioral traits only by the actions that are done as a result of the traits of the mind. Behaviorism came a little around that time and established that people’s behavior was a only a result of the mind and that their behavior was a way of understanding the mind. This followed with various methods of trial and error offering incentives and sometimes not to see the response in behavior. The different results were looked at and then distinctive traits of the psyche were centered upon.

Once it began to become popular, it became a challenging point to behavioral and structuralism psychology. Further study concentrated on the brain, its dimensions and the ideas that ruled the mind. Another phenomenon that contributed to the holistic psychological study that we see today is Gestalt Psychology. Simultaneously taking root in Germany, it was that learning ought not to be done section by section but rather as one whole – something that came to be called phenomenology.
