ULRIC NEISSER
'Ulrich Neisser' (born 8 December 1928) is an American psychologist and member of the National Academy of Sciences. He is a faculty member at Cornell University. In 1995, he headed an American Psychological Association task force that reviewed ''The Bell Curve'' and related controversies in the study of intelligence. In April 1996, he chaired a conference at Emory University that focused on secular changes in intelligence-test scores.[1]
Neisser is a former Guggenheim and Sloan Fellow.[2]
Born in Kiel, Germany, he moved with his family to the United States in 1931. Neisser earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard in 1950, a Master’s at Swarthmore, and a doctorate from Harvard in 1956. He 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 1976, he wrote ''Cognition and Reality'', in which he began to express a dissatisfaction with the linear programming model of cognitive psychology at that time, and the excessive reliance on laboratory work, rather than real-life situations. In his later writings he became critical of the methodology of much cognitive psychology, faulting it for being "ecologically invalid."
In 1981, Neisser published ''John Dean's memory: a case study'', in regards to the testimony of John Dean for the Watergate Scandal.
In 1995, Neisser headed an American Psychological Association task force writing a consensus statement on the state of intelligence research, in response to the claims being advanced amid the controversy surrounding ''The Bell Curve'', titled ''.
In 1998, he published ''The Rising Curve: Long-Term Gains in IQ and Related Measures''.
