Definitions of key psychological theories including rationalism, empiricism, structuralism, introspection, functionalism, pragmatism, associationism, and behaviorism. Rationalism posits that knowledge is gained through logical analysis, while empiricism argues that knowledge comes from empirical evidence. Structuralism seeks to understand the structures of the mind, introspection involves looking inward, functionalism focuses on processes, pragmatism validates knowledge by its usefulness, associationism examines how events or ideas become associated, and behaviorism focuses on observable behavior.
