Answer 1

Wilhelm Wundt, a German doctor, and psychologist was responsible for creating the world's first experimental psychology lab.

Key Points

This lab was established in 1879 at the University of Leipzig in Germany.
By creating an academic laboratory devoted to the study of experimental psychology, Wundt officially took psychology from a sub-discipline of philosophy and biology to a unique scientific discipline.
In this laboratory, Wundt and his students conducted experiments on, for example, reaction times.
A subject, sometimes in a room isolated from the scientist, would receive a stimulus such as a light, image, or sound. The subject’s reaction to the stimulus would be to push a button, and an apparatus would record the time to reaction.

Thus, it is concluded that The first psychological laboratory was formally established in Leipzig.
