Weaknesses are that it ignores conciousness, subjective experience and emtotions, it is reductionist, it denies the role of innate factors and that its deterministic.
Strengths: focuses on the uniqueness of each individual person along with the groups we identify with (religion, etc.); we are rational beings; that we are influenced by our past but not determined by it & we can change
Weaknesses: results are difficult or impossible to measure (not scientific)

Strengths: Cognitive Psychology is probably the most dominant approach today: 1. It investigates many areas of interest in Psychology that had been neglected by behaviourism; yet, unlike psychoanalysis and humanism, it investigates them using a more rigorous scientific method. 2. This approach has tended to use a scientific approach through the use of laboratory experiments, as shown in the Loftus & Palmer study. Weaknesses: Cognitive models have been accused of being: 1. Over simplistic - ignoring the huge complexity of human functioning compared to computer functioning. 2. Unrealistic and over hypothetical - ignoring the biological influences and grounding of mental processes.
Strengths: Wilhelm Wundt was a pioneer in psychology, known for establishing the first psychology laboratory and introducing the idea of structuralism. He emphasized the importance of studying consciousness and introspection. Weaknesses: Wundt's structuralist approach was criticized for its subjectivity and lack of scientific rigor. He focused on studying conscious mental processes, which limited his exploration of unconscious and emotional aspects of human behavior.
