There he wrote ''Contributions to the Theory of Sense Perception'' (1858–1862). In 1864, he became associate professor for [[anthropology]] and [[medical psychology]] and published a textbook about human physiology. However, his main interest, according to his lectures and classes, was not in the medical field – he was more attracted by psychology and related subjects. His lectures on psychology were published as ''Lectures on Human and Animal Psychology'' in 1863–1864. Wundt applied himself to writing a work that came to be one of the most important in the history of psychology, ''Principles of Physiological Psychology'', in 1874. This was the first textbook that was written pertaining to the field of experimental psychology.<ref>Lamberti, 1995, pp. 81–86, pp. 114–134.</ref>
