Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present some elements that permit tracing the influence of Mach in the birth of three psychological approaches: Skinnerian behaviorism, Freudian psychoanalysis and Gestalt psychology. In the first place, the particular interpretation that Skinner and Freud made of some postulates of Mach’s philosophy of science are examined. The second part analyzes the influence of Mach’s work on the Gestalt psychology and the Husserlian phenomenology. Finally, the importance of having made a correct interpretation of the study plan of sensations, from an empirical and experiential point of view in the convergence between Mach’s Psychophysiology and the study of conscious experience in phenomenology, that it would have had for the emerging science of psychology, is emphasized.
