Titchener's Taxonomy

Titchener's Taxonomy is a classification system that organizes different types of feelings and sensations into categories. Developed by psychologist Edward Titchener, it breaks down human experiences into basic components such as sensations (like color or sound), emotions (like joy or anger), and complex feelings that combine simpler elements. The goal was to better understand how our minds process and distinguish various mental experiences by identifying their fundamental parts. This systematic approach helps psychologists analyze and study the structure of conscious experience more clearly and precisely.
