What is "introspecting"

Usage examples of "introspecting".

Critics of the scientific use of introspection have raised the legitimate problem that when the introspecting subject is compelled to reply to the questions of the experimenter, this not only biases the observations and responses but also carries the implicit message to the subject that all the questions are answerable.

Their objective solution to the fallibility of introspection was to apply external, artificial constraints on their introspecting subjects, thereby reducing the sophisticated, human ability of introspection to a primitive, robotlike process of internal monitoring.
