4. Structuralism was based on careful anecdotes gathered from Wundt’s extensive clinical career

5. Wundt was not the first person to derive a scientific psychological theory

251. A behaviorist might state that aggression is caused by memories or

ways we think about aggressive behavior, while a cognitive psychologist might say aggression is caused by past repressed experience

2. A behaviorist might state that aggression is a behavior encouraged by our genetic code, while a cognitive psychologist might state that aggression is caused by memories or ways we think about aggressive behavior

3. A behaviorist might state that aggression is caused by past rewards for aggressive behavior, while a cognitive psychologist might believe aggression is caused by an expressed desire to fulfill certain life needs

4. A behaviorist might state that aggression is caused by past rewards for aggressive behavior, while a cognitive psychologist might believe aggression is caused by memories or ways we think about aggressive behavior

5. A behaviorist would not disagree with a cognitive psychologist about aggression because they both believe that aggressive behavior is caused by the way we cognitively process certain behaviors
