Discuss Wundt's Role in the emergence of psychology

Wilhelm Wundt, "the founding father" of psychology was the first to clarify the difference between physiology and psychology ; psychology being the study of conscious experience. Wundt believed that the mind could be broken down into constituent elements (Reductionism), and these would be found and analysed using introspection (a process of self-observation). He introduced psychology to the idea of experimental methods, a crucial segment of psychology today.
