Wundt, Wilhelm

(b. 1832, near Mannheim, Germany, d. 1920. M.D., University of Heidelberg, 1855). In his most influential psychological work, Principles of Physiological Psychology (1874) he argued that conscious states could be scientifically studied through the systematic manipulation of antecedent variables, and analyzed by carefully controlled techniques of introspection.
