Who first used the term psychology?

Wilhelm Wundt

Wilhelm Wundt is considered the founder of modern psychology because he established the first psychological laboratory in Germany in 1879. Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung are also well-known figures in psychology, but they were not the first to use the term. William James, although a pioneer in American psychology, did not use the term "psychology" to refer to the scientific study of behavior and the mind.
