About Oswald Külpe
- Oswald Külpe (German: ['kylp?]; 3 August 1862 – 30 December 1915) was one of the structural psychologists of the late 19th and early 20th century.
- Külpe, who is lesser known than his German mentor, Wilhelm Wundt, revolutionized experimental psychology at his time.
- In his obituary, Aloys Fischer wrote that, “undoubtedly Külpe was the second founder of experimental psychology on German soil; for with every change of base he made it a requirement that an experimental laboratory should be provided.”Külpe studied as a doctoral student and assistant to Wundt at the University of Leipzig, though his ideas differed from Wundt as he developed his own research (Boring, 1961).
- Külpe made significant contributions to the field of psychology, some of which are still relevant to this day, including the systematic experimental introspection, imageless thoughts, mental sets, and abstraction.
