HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY

Author: Dr. Roshan Lal Dahiya, Dr. Rajesh Kumar

Psychology as a self-conscious field of experimental study began in 1879 when Wilhelm Wundt founded the first laboratory dedicated exclusively to psychological research in Leipzig. Wundt was also the first person to refer to himself as a psychologist and wrote the first textbook on psychology: Principles of Physiological Psychology. Other important early contributors to the field include Hermann Ebbinghaus ( a pioneer in the study of memory ), William James ( the American father of pragmatism ), and Ivan Pavlov ( who developed the procedures associated with classical conditioning ).
