| biography:
| Psychologist, born in Kiel, N Germany. He studied at Harvard, then taught at Brandeis, Cornell, and Emory universities. The modern growth of cognitive psychology received a major boost from the publication in 1967 of the first (and most influential) of his books, Cognitive Psychology. In his later writings he became critical of the methodology of much cognitive psychology, faulting it for being ‘ecologically invalid’. |
