Question 3 (1 point) Which of the following is NOT a contribution of British empiricism to the development of psychology? the analysis of conscious experience into elements the synthesis of elements into complex mental experiences through the process of association the primary role of the process of sensation the focus on unconscious experiences

Answer 1

The answer is **the focus on unconscious experiences**.British Empiricism emphasized the role of experience and observation in acquiring knowledge. This school of thought focused on how the mind is built from sensory experience. Key figures like Locke, Berkeley, and Hume discussed the analysis of conscious experience into basic elements (sensations and ideas), how these elements are combined through association, and the importance of sensation as the primary source of knowledge. The unconscious was not a focus for them. Instead, the exploration of the unconscious mind became prominent later with the development of psychoanalysis, primarily through the work of Sigmund Freud.
