The psychological Laboratory at Leipsic “The psychological Laboratory at Leipsic” The article, “The psychological Laboratory at Leipsic”, by James McKeen Cattell, describes the laboratory and the processes of experimentation. Psychology is different from other sciences, and philosophy, in that it uses experimentation to try and figure out why things work the way they do. An important task in a psychology students’ curriculum is that they learn the process of experimentation and why that experiment proves or disproves their hypothesis. Psychology tries to explain the connection between the body and the mind, and controlled, well-organized experiments give a good clue to what goes on. Professor Wundt, who decided to have his male students divide up into experimentor and subject groups, to have experiements done by each other, first thought up the psychology laboratory. Wundt would aid the student’s questions but lead them to find their own conclusions. Wundt also established a journal for publication of the research called “MIND”.
