Why would we view psychology as a new science but also a very old field or discipline?

Answer: Psychology as a science has a short time but as a discipline, it has a long time.

Explanation:

It can be said that psychology as a science was born from the first experimental laboratory created by Wilhelm Wundt in Germany in 1879, a time that can be said as short in comparison with other sciences that have a longer period and have been the subject of greater studies. But, in the case of psychology as a discipline, since the 15th century, principles related to what psychology deals with have been used, that is, studying the human being from his soul and mind.
