Wundt was a hugely prolific writer, so ther is no pat answer to this question. You should have a look at a reputable history of psychology testbook or two (Leahey, Fancher, Viney). You should also look at the work that was done in the 1970s and 1980s that drammatically revised the American view of what WUndt was really about. See especially Robert Rieber's book (of which as 2nd edition has recently been published) as well as relevant articles by Arthur Blumenthal and Kurt Danziger.
