B. Wilhelm Wundt
Wilhelm Wundt is often considered the first person to define psychology as an independent scientific discipline. Wundt, a German physiologist and psychologist, established the first psychological laboratory at the University of Leipzig in 1879. He is known for emphasizing the scientific study of conscious experience and is regarded as the founder of experimental psychology. While other philosophers and scholars contributed to the development of psychological ideas, Wundt's laboratory is often seen as the starting point for psychology as a formal discipline.
