The first Congress of Experimental Psychology was held in Giessen, Germany, April 18-21. The congress was attended by 85 psychologists, including Georg E. Müller, Oswald Külpe, Hermann Ebbinghaus, and Narziss K. Ach. Charles Spearman later reported that the "spiritualism and 'occult' phenomena" and "contention as to the primary method of psychological research" of earlier congresses had been "wholly replaced by simple exposition of observed facts and explanatory theories." The modern Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychologie originated at this meeting.
