~ 1832 - 1920
Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) was a German psychologist and philosopher, widely regarded as the "father of experimental psychology." He established the first psychological laboratory at the University of Leipzig in 1879, which marked the official separation of psychology from philosophy and physiology. Wundt is known for his work in introspection and for developing the theory of structuralism, focusing on the conscious experience and the structure of the mind.
