Naikan, which literally means “inner looking”, is the process of introspection that focuses on three questions. These questions are as follows: what did I receive from a specific person at a particular period, what did I give back to that person at that specific time in life, and how did I cause that person trouble and difficulty at that during that time? When reflecting on these inquiries, the introspections must be concrete accounts and not abstract when doing Naikan. As for the process of Naikan

INTRODUCTION TO LEARNING Schunk (2012) states, that learning is not just an act, process, or experience of gaining knowledge or skill.

For example, one of Wundt's research assistants might describe an object such as an apple in terms of the basic perceptions it invoked (e.g., "cold", "crisp", and "sweet"). An important principal of introspection is that any given conscious experience must be described in it's most basic terms, so that a researcher could not describe some experience

of thought in psychology today. John B. Watson John Watson believed that psychology should be a purely objective science with its sole purpose as the study of observable behavior, prediction, and control. He adamantly thought the removal of introspection and consciousness would promote psychology as an experimental science (White, 2011).

significant meaning to the main character’s life. Their intentions in returning to these places are to fulfill an unconscious desire to unveil their true thoughts with regard to specific experiences which profoundly impacted them (this is known as introspection).

He argues that this is similar to other processes, such as perceptual processes or even digestion, which we know are happening but are not observable through introspection. In contrast to Freud, modern psychological research suggests that the unconscious cannot be explored no matter how deep you dig. This is not a bad thing, Wilson points out, but it is a reflection of the mind’s power: a lot of information can be

In Precursors to Cognitive Psychology we saw that psychologists adopted a number of methodologies throughout the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, including focusing only on observable behaviour. One early methodology was introspection, which was used to study the elements of perception, although this ran into difficulties. However, for higher-level cognitive processes such as decision making and voluntary behaviour, many social scientists continue to ask people about the reasons
