In the latest among his various contributions to the teaching of the history of psychology, Christopher Green (the current president of APA Division 26) has posted a new video on the origins of experimental psychology.  He describes it thus: “An impossibly brief history of the origins of experimental psychology, from Aristotle to Wundt.”

Green’s other videos can be found here:

The debate was focused on the prospect of an American, James Mark Baldwin, later a major developmental psychologist and evolutionary theorist, being hired over a Canadian competitor, James Gibson Hume, who later headed the U. Toronto philosophy department for 30 years (based on Green, 2004).
