Which of the following describes a strength of Wundt's work?

• A. Subjective opinions
• B. Detailed and precise records
• C. Large sample sizes
• D. Emphasis on unconscious content

Answer: (B)

Precision and detailed records in experimental psychology are the strength highlighted here. Wundt built psychology as an experimental science by standardizing tasks, controlling conditions, and collecting careful, numerical data from participants. He trained observers to report experiences under consistent procedures, and he measured things like reaction times and sensory thresholds. This rigorous, record-driven approach made findings more reliable and easier to replicate than relying on vague impressions. In contrast, personal subjective opinions aren’t the aim of his methods, his studies typically used smaller, not large, samples, and the emphasis wasn’t on unconscious content (a focus more associated with later theories).
