<P> Edward B. Titchener , along with Wilhelm Wundt , is credited for the theory of structuralism . It is considered to be the first `` school '' of psychology . Because he was a student of Wilhelm Wundt at the University of Leipzig , Titchener 's ideas on how the mind worked were heavily influenced by Wundt 's theory of voluntarism and his ideas of association and apperception ( the passive and active combinations of elements of consciousness respectively ) . Titchener attempted to classify the structures of the mind , like chemists classify the elements of nature , into the nature . </P>
