The iceberg's visible tip represents the conscious mind, which includes thoughts and perceptions that individuals are immediately aware of.

According to Freud, human behavior is primarily shaped by this hidden realm.

Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
