Wilhelm Wundt presented a landmark paper on the personal difference between visual and auditory observation at the Natural Science Conference at Speyer, Germany. Writing about Wundt's discipline defining address at Speyer, Edward Bradford Titchener noted that "There is no more remarkable incident in the history of experimental psychology than Wundt's attempt, by way of a single crucial experiment, to overturn the whole Herbartian psychology."
