first psychology laboratory

The first psychology laboratory in North America was founded by G. Stanley Hall at Johns Hopkins University in 1883. This laboratory played a significant role in shaping the growth of psychology as an experimental science.

By 1900, a few other universities and institutions in North America had also established psychology laboratories, but their number was relatively small compared to later years. The discipline of psychology was still establishing its identity and gaining recognition as a legitimate scientific field during this period.

Throughout the early 20th century, psychology as a discipline experienced rapid growth, leading to the establishment of numerous psychology departments and research laboratories across North America. As the field expanded and gained prominence, the number of psychology laboratories increased significantly. By the mid-20th century, psychology had become a well-established and thriving discipline with a large number of research facilities and academic programs in North America.
