Descripción
Sumario:Abstract Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920), considered by many contemporaries to be the founder of modern experimental psychology, experienced the enormous successes of physics during his studies with the natural scientists of Heidelberg. Following their methods (and their methodology), Wundt successfully led the subject of psychology from a speculative to an empirical and experimental direction. I sketch the picture of a possible error that could have caused a wrong course to be set for psychology in general. Alternatives to the model of physics (e.g., the model of biology) have hardly prevailed to this day.
