Abstract
Wilhelm Wundt, born in 1832, studied medicine before becoming an assistant professor under the physiologist Hermann von Helmholtz. Wundt, who is regarded as one of the fathers of modern psychology, founded the world's first Institute for Experimental Psychology in Leipzig in 1879. He established the experimental approach in psychology and developed the so-called Volkerpsychologie suited to investigate phenomena of social psychology. Among them, he included language and devoted one full volume to it. Many of his 184 doctoral students fostered academic psychology and psycholinguistics in their hometowns and home countries.
