Why was the perspective followed by wilhelm wundt and his followers called structuralism? they wanted to identify the major brain structures. their primary goal was to understand the physiology of the mind. they focused their efforts on analyzing the elements of the nervous system. their primary focus was on describing the structure of conscious experience?

I believe the last option is the correct answer - their primary focus was on describing the structure of conscious experience.
Structuralism is all about structures - mostly about the structure of your mind. This group of psychologists is interested in knowing what your mind, your brain, is made of, and what it is capable of doing when its full potential is unleashed.
