Wundt, Wilhelm (1832-1920) |
|
The first self-proclaimed psychologist, as opposed to physiologist or philosopher, who in the 1870s founded the first experimental laboratory. The programme of research now called PSYCHOPHYSICS and followed by experimental psychologists was intended to support his STRUCTURALIST theories. But it is often said that twentieth-century PSYCHOLOGY became dominated by BEHAVIOURISM and PSYCHOANALYSIS as a reaction against Wundt's thinking. |
