Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wilhelm Wundt defined psychology as the study of consciousness and emphasized the use of experimental methods to study and measure it. While he is considered a pioneer in psychology, he is not known for mentoring Sigmund Freud or Erik Erikson, nor is he considered the founder of physiology (which dates back to ancient Greece). Additionally, Wundt's perspective on mind-body dualism was not interactive, but rather he proposed a theory of voluntarism which emphasized the active and selective nature of consciousness.
