"father of experimental psychology"
Wilhelm Wundt 5http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQvcp3k8tJc (1832-1920)

Perspective: Wilhelm Wundt had a psychoanalytic perspective because of his belief in the influence of unconscious thoughts on human behavior. He believed that consciousness is an inner experience. According to Wundt, consciousness is able to be experimented with and therefore key to psychology. He broke it into objective sensations and subjective feelings. Objective sensations reflect the outside world like sight and taste. The subjective feelings are emotional responses and mental images. In that way he also has a cognative perspective. He investigated how people make mental images of the world, and how those thoughts and images determined behavior.

Education: As a person, Wilhelm was shy and reserved in public, but more comfortable when giving lectures. His humor was considered "witty". He went to the University of Heidelberg mastering in medicine. He turned to Philosophy and studied a semester under Johannes Muller in Berlin.
