Development in the early part of the nineteenth century is pertinent to the discipline of psycholinguistics, with detailed case studies appearing of psychological deficits of various kinds. Just as psychology as a science is traditionally traced to the founding of Wundt's laboratory in Leipzig, modern (largely Anglo-Saxon) psycholinguistics has its quasi-mythical founding moment. The foundation of Wundt's lab and its notional date of 1879 are well known. Less well known is that there was a thriving tradition of experimental work on the psychology of language, particularly in Wundt's own lab. Wundt's early psycholinguistic work and that of other German-speaking or German-influenced psychologists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has been documented in detail by Arthur Blumenthal. In North America, too, Wundt's influence waned dramatically with the advent of behaviorism. In Europe, Wundt became involved in the kind of arguments that led directly to behaviorism in the United States about the use of introspective techniques—for example. Wundt, himself, favored strict experimentation but the Würzburg group favored the use of introspective techniques. It was from this group that the next great European psycholinguistic, Karl Bühler, emerged. There is no doubt that psycholinguistics is alive and kicking. All psycholinguists have their own favored questions and techniques, but there is plenty to keep all, and more, busy for the foreseeable future. They should learn whatever they can however and from whomever.
