The concept of structuralism was to have a subject look into his or her mind and try to break down the processes happening there. For example - if you drink your favorite beverage, what do you feel on your tongue? Is it hot? Cold? Sweet? What do you feel as you first smell it? What do you feel when it is in your mouth? Sliding down your throat? This approach of psychology was abandoned over time. In two to three sentences, explain why you think psychologists would stop using structuralism
