	Human Intelligence: Wilhelm Wundt
		Wundt's revolutionary approach to psychological experimentation moved psychological study from the domain of philosophy and the natural sciences and began to utilize physiological experimental techniques in the laboratory.
		To Wundt, the essence of all total adjustments of the organism was a psychophysical process, an organic response mediated by both the physiological and the psychological.
		Wundt perceived psychology as part of an elaborate philosophy where mind is seen as an activity, not a substance.

	Pioneers of Psychology [2001 Tour] - School of Education & Psychology
		Wundt was seeking to study, not the relation of the body and mind, but, instead, the relation between sensation on the one hand and theprocess of psychological judgment on the other.
		Wundt recognized that conscious contents are fleeting and in continual flux;8 he therefore laid down explicit rules for proper use of the introspective method:" (1) The observer, if at all possible, must be in a position to determine when the process is to be introduced.
		To Wundt, mankind shows development through a series of successive levels with primitive man as the lowest grade of culture, moving on to the totemic age, thence to the age of heroes and gods, and, finally, the age in which we are now living, that of the advance toward humanity.

	Wilhelm Wundt
		Wundt was able to return to a form of psychophysics mainly developed by Gustav Fechner (1801-1887), and investigated the relationships between the measurable phenomena of the physical world and their experienced (psychic) image — i.e.
		Wundt involved himself exhaustively with colours and actually designed two systems, both of which were conceived out of the principle of opposition (which can also be derived from the polar attributes of the empirical world such as excitement and calm, or well-being and pain).
		Wundt also noted that "if this representation of a sphere is random, inasmuch that instead of it another embodiment with similar properties can be selected, the psychological fact that the entire system of light sensations is a three dimensional and self-contained continuum will still be vividly expressed within".

	Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Wundt's interest, both to scholars of the history of philosophy and to contemporary philosophers of mind, flows ultimately from the definition, methodology, and “metaphysics” of this physiological psychology.
		Wundt however is crystal-clear that the PPP is not a metaphysical “hypothesis.” It is merely an admittedly misleading name for an “empirical postulate” necessary to explain the phenomenal “fact” of consciousness of which we are immediately aware (Wundt, 1911a: 22).
		Wundt calls this side of philosophy Prinzipienlehre or “doctrine of principles.” By contrast, its negative or critical role is to regulate the sciences in accord with the imperative of consistent systematicity.

		Wundt calls attention to the frequency of these among totem animals, and assumes that totem belief originates with these animal forms and is only later transferred to other animals, plants, and even inanimate things, through men's attention being for various reasons centered upon them.
		Wundt recognizes that this appearance is dependent on the more highly organized form of society, which gives rise to the state, but the psychological explanation of this is insecure and inadequate.

		Wundt's achievement is discussed in the light of the scientific situation in 19th Century Germany and from the standpoint of a Naturalistic Science of Psychology.
		Moreover, Wundt's achievement in a unique way symbolizes a correction of the common view of psychological history that organismic behavior is not entirely naturalistic, nor does it detract from Wundt's achievement that the development of laboratory study in psychology seemed to occur as a matter of course.
		So far was Wundt from authentic psychological science as not to respect the basic rule that science is an endeavor to discover the nature of confrontable events in their evolution and in their interaction with other events as conditions and variations.

		Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) was born in Neckarau, Germany, the son of a Protestant minister.
		Wundt distinguished between acceptable self-observation (e.g., "press a button when the identity of a word just briefly flashed before you comes clearly to mind") and unacceptable INTROSPECTION (e.g., "What do you think went on in your mind just before you pressed the button?"), a distinction stressed by Blumenthal (1980) and Danziger (1980).
		Wundt's books included works on LOGIC and ethics as well as psychology, and his final years were devoted to his multivolume Völkerpsychologie (The Psychology of Peoples).

		Wundt gathers together a far-ranging collection of data--mostly drawn from ethnographic studies conducted by social scientist throughout the 19th century--which serve to portray the developmental stages expressed across diverse human cultures and to provide an understanding of the cultural influences exerted upon individuals within particular national communities.
		Wundt's sensitivity to the role of language, in particular, as a entry point to understand social and cultural behavior anticipated what some 20th century psychologists and psycholinguists would begin to examine from other perspectives several decades later (e.g., Vygotsky).

	George Herbert Mead: The Imagination in Wundt's Treatment of Myth and Religion (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Wundt's fundamental position is that the mental processes, which have given rise to myths and the constructive art that has embodied them, are quite identical with the immediate processes of sense-perception as they have existed among primitive peoples, as they exist among such peoples to-day, and as they exist in the most reflective communities.
		And the specific task which Wundt undertakes is that of so analyzing impression, association, and apperception that we shall see only a difference in degree between our affective presentations of natural objects and the personifications thereof by more primitive men.
		In this sense Wundt analyzes the imagination as it appears in spatial perception, in temporal perception, in the contents of its images, in childhood, and finally in art.

	WILHELM WUNDT
		Wundt saw psychology as more of a separation from physiology than from philosophy, which has how it was commonly perceived.
		Wundt's use of the word physiologischen, or physiological, misled some historians because in the mid 1800s Germany, this term referred to the experimental treatment of subject matter and not to physiology as we know it today.
		Wundt thought that although experimental methods were important and necessary in the study of psychology, it could not be the only method of investigation.

	Wilhelm Wundt on Judgement (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While Wundt’s motives are to be admired (…and despite his historical significance), I'll conclude that his attempt to be true to the physiological roots of the psychology of judgment while still respecting its ultimate independence vis-à-vis logic was a failure.
		For Wundt, then, the idea of a complex syntax that is used to combine simpler elements into statements that transcend mere association (e.g., a system of logic) makes sense only as an act of the will and only in the context of a social world.
		While Wundt may have failed in his larger goal, his experimental methods have nonetheless become part of the warp and weft of modern psychology, and his awareness of the tension between judgment properly construed and associationism is instructive.
