Introspection and Its Limits

Video not yet published

State

Introspection is a trained report of one's own conscious experience, and it cannot be checked by a second observer.

Show

Two trained observers in Wundt's laboratory describe the same tone differently, and no third measurement settles which report is right.

Watch for

Unverifiable is not the same as false. Introspection failed as a method, not as a phenomenon.
