I conducted a short survey of students registered for the lecture History of Psychology (N = 112). The results look very similar to those from 2015. In particular, Freud again makes it to the top of the list of best-known psychologists (students were asked to name up to 10 eminent psychologists; I show below the proportion of students that list each name that was mentioned at least twice). Sadly, not many experimental psychologists, including, Wundt, make it to this list! There’s some work to be done…
