Which of the following is an example of structuralism?

  1. Investigating the nature of thought

  2. Examining the structure of the brain

  3. Studying the effect of a drug on behavior

  4. Investigating the biology of emotions

The correct answer is: Examining the structure of the brain

Structuralism is a psychological perspective that focuses on the structure of the mind. It emphasizes the importance of breaking down mental processes into their basic components in order to understand human behavior. Option B, examining the structure of the brain, aligns with this idea and would be considered an example of structuralism. Options A, C, and D do not directly relate to the focus on understanding mental processes and therefore are not examples of structuralism.
