Functionalism

In early of 20 century,structuralism was replaced by functinalism which was advocated by functionalists led by american psychloogist-william james."rather than focusing on mind's components Functionalism concentrated on what mind does-the function of mental activity.Functionalists asked what roles behaviour plays in allowing people to adapt to their environment better.Also william james examined the ways in which behaviour allows people to satisfy their needs".
structuralism were interested in what they saw as the components of consciousness
(ideas,sensations) but the Functionalists focused on the operations of conscious activity (perceiving,learning).Also functinalism stressed the biological significance of natural process  including behaviour.Their emphasis was on overt observable behaviour and not on private mental events.
