UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 6484296 Biography Donald Benjamin Lindsley was born in 1907 in Brownhelm, Ohio. He attended nearby Wittenberg College (now University), graduating in 1929 with a major in Psychology under mentor Martin Luther Reymert. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Iowa under the supervision of Carl Seashore and Edward Lee Travis. In 1931 Lindsley gained passage to Europe on a Holland-America Line ship by playing coronet in a University of Iowa based jazz band called, "The Four Aces." At Iowa he met Ellen Ford, whom he married in 1933. They had four children and remained married until Ellen's death in 2002. Lindsley spent 1932-1933 as an instructor at the University of Illinois. In 1933 he was awarded a National Research Council postdoctoral fellowship and spent a year at Harvard Medical School. In 1934-1935 the fellowship was renewed and Lindsley Finding Aid for the Donald B. Lindsley Biomed.0423 2 Papers Biomed.0423 worked at Massachusetts General Hospital. During his time in the Boston area he was a colleague of Hallowell Davis, Walter Cannon, Alexander Forbes and Albert Grass. He also got to know Edwin G. Boring, who at the time was establishing an independent psychology department at Harvard, and B. F. Skinner, a member of Henry A. Murray's Psychological Clinic. During this fellowship he assisted in pioneering work with the electromyogram and was a subject participant in Harvard's early electroencephalogram (EEG) study. In 1935 Lindsley received a three-year position as a research associate at Western Reserve University and the Brush Foundation. Here he collected over one hundred and fifty EEGs and studied the responses of visual and auditory stimulation, biofeedback, and taught developmental psychology. A year later Lindsley became an assistant professor of psychology at Brown University and the Director of Psychology and Neurophysiology at Bradley Hospital. He spent the years 1942-1945 as the civilian Director of a Radar Operator Research and Training Program in the Army's southern signal corps school in Florida. In 1946 Lindsley joined Horace W. (Tid) Magoun at Northwestern University where they researched how the nervous system mediates behavior and states of consciousness. Here Lindsley chaired a panel on the psychology and physiology of undersea warfare: an early example of human factors and human engineering research. In 1951 Lindsley followed Magoun to UCLA to take up a joint professorship in the Psychology department and the new UCLA School of Medicinel. Here Lindsley's research focused on neurophysiology of the visual system and the psychological aspects of vision. Lindsley, along with Magoun and Charles (Tom) Sawyer, arranged for some research space at the Long Beach VA Hospital. In 1959 they established the Brain Research Institute joined by Dr. John D. French and Theodore Bullock. Due to the growing number of visiting scientists and students the Brain Research Institute came to be housed in an 11-story building in UCLA's medical complex in 1961. In 1967 Lindsley was a crew member of the Alpha Helix, a Scripps Institute research vessel, which explored the Amazon. In 1977 Lindsley retired from UCLA at the age of 70. Donald Lindsley was one of the first scientists to use the new technique of electroencephalography (EEG) to research and study electrical brain activity. His interdisciplinary approach to brain research yielded important contributions in understanding various aspects of brain behavior. He published seminal papers in 1949-1950 with Horace Magoun, which defined the brainstem activating systems that support wakefulness and arousal. In addition to pioneering brain research Lindsley was known as an unpretentious and affable colleague and a nurturing mentor to the many students and researchers who passed through his labs. He keenly followed his students' careers by carrying on correspondences with many of them for decades. Throughout his career Lindsley authored and co-authored over two-hundred and forty publications, sponsored nearly fifty Ph.D. candidates, and hosted approximately eighty post-doctoral and visiting scientists. He was an invited speaker at more than fifty symposia, conferences, and celebrations. He gave over forty invited lectures at various colleges and universities, including Harvard's prestigious William James Lectures in 1958. He received honorary doctorates from Brown University in 1958, Wittenberg University in 1959, Trinity College, in Hartford, Connecticut in 1965, Loyola University in Chicago in 1969, and Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany in 1977. Lindsley was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1952, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1965, and gained Foreign Membership in the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters in 1987. The Society of Neuroscience has honored Lindsley since 1979 by annually awarding the Donald B. Lindsley Prize to talented young brain scientists. Donald B. Lindsley died on July 19, 2003, in Santa Monica, California at the age of 95. Scope and Content The papers of Donald B. Lindsley span the years 1866-2001. Included are correspondence (with occasional marginal notes; carbon copies are filed with the letters received, and significant correspondence are often photocopied); publication reprints; typescripts of publications, talks and lectures; bibliographical and research notes (mostly relating to the electroencephalogram); grants; students' theses and papers; research materials relating to the Alpha Helix Amazon expedition of 1967; technical and administrative materials related to Grass Instruments; translations of Russian scientists' publications (although most of the unpublished translations were inadvertently thrown away during a garage-cleaning); photographs; slides; films (including copies of his

  • Radio-Electronics in Education
    RADIO ELECTRONICS Published by Department of Information RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA 30 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA, NEW YORK, N. Y. FOREWORD 1 1 is booklet presents briefly the various types of aid which radio, both as a science and as a system of communication, renders to the cause of education. DI Education is as old as civilization itself; radio is one of civili- zation's newest products. It is therefore too early to appraise the ultimate extent or influence of their relationship. Enough has already been accomplished, however, both in the field of broadcasting and in the use of new educational techniques made possible by radio research, to prove that the importance of radio in the educational field is profound and far-reaching. New developments in radio and electronics, such as televi- sion and the electron microscope, are of the utmost significance to the future of education. It may be argued that the future of education is of slight interest when civilization is locked in a life-and-death struggle with forces which seek to destroy it. On the contrary, I believe it is a subject of major importance at this time. For the civilization of free men and women will triumph in this war, and the vital need for wise, courageous leadership will be more insistent in the post-war generation than ever before in historv. The education of both adults and children — and of the many, not the few — will stronglv influence the choice of poli- cies and of leaders capable of establishing and maintaining a better world for all humanity.

  • Influência De Jerome Bruner Na Teoria Da Aprendizagem Musical De Edwin Gordon
    INFLUÊNCIA DE JEROME BRUNER NA TEORIA DA APRENDIZAGEM MUSICAL DE EDWIN GORDON Ricardo Dourado Freire [email protected] Departamento de Música da Universidade de Brasília Verônica Gomes Archanjo de Oliveira Silva [email protected] Resumo Neste artigo é realizadas uma análise teórica dos Níveis e Subníveis de Competências musicais estabelecidos por Edwin Gordon (1997) a partir dos fundamentos teóricos para elaboração de teorias de aprendizagem propostos por Jerome Bruner (1965). A compreen- são das idéias de Bruner serve para elucidar aspectos estruturais da Teoria da Aprendiza- gem Musical de Gordon e permite o esclarecimento de procedimentos e propostas de Gor- don dentro da perspectiva da psicologia cognitiva. Palavras-chave : Aprendizagem Musical, Jerome Bruner, Edwin Gordon. O pesquisador estadunidense Edwin Gordon desenvolveu nos últimos 50 anos uma extensa obra nas áreas de psicologia da música e educação musical. Sua trajetória acadê- mica passa pelo doutoramento na University of Iowa (1958), atuação como docente na University of Iowa, 1958-1973, na State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY- Buf- falo), 1973-1979, até sua permanência na Carl Seashore Chair for Research in Music Edu- cation da Temple University entre 1979 e sua aposentadoria em 1997. Durante sua trajetó- ria acadêmica publicou 94 livros, com traduções em português, italiano e lituano, além de ter orientado aproximadamente 40 dissertações de doutorado. Sua carreira como pesquisa- dor nas áreas de psicologia da música e educação musical influenciaram toda uma corrente de pesquisa na linha de música. Nesta abordagem, os processos cognitivo-musicais são observados a partir de uma estrutura seqüencial de desenvolvimento que aplica à área de música a proposta teórica de Jerome Bruner publicada em Toward a Theory of Instruction (1965) Nos primeiros anos de pesquisas na Univeristy of Iowa, Gordon inicia um profundo estudo sobre a aptidão musical e os processos que influenciam o desenvolvimento musical do indivíduo baseado nos trabalhos de Seashore e Drake.

  • On Early Applications of Psychology in Music Education
    JRME 1982, VOLUME 30, NUMBER 3, PAGES 141-150 141 GranvilleStanley Hall, founder of the AmericanPsychological Association and president of Clark University,was thefirst Americanpsychologist to speak and write about music's place in the educational curriculum. An examination of his published writings reveals Hall based his theoryof music education on principles of Social Darwinism and Child Study perspectiveson education. Hall's theories are referenced and paraphrased in several song series textbooksand music appreciationtexts published by music educators during his professionalcareer. Thesesources indicate that Hall influencedthe thinkingof certainmusic educatorsand was importantto music education,in general, in developing a receptivitytoward psychological processes in music educationpractice. R. R. Rideout, Universityof Oklahoma On Early Applications of Psychology in Music Education Granville Stanley Hall (1842-1924) received the first doctoral degree in psychology in the United States (from Harvard, in 1878). After a two- year sojourn to Europe, where he studied the educational system of Germany, Hall returned to America where, in 1881, he was hired by Charles Elliott, president of Harvard University, to deliver a series of lectures on the state of education in Germany. He gave these lectures for teachers in the Boston environs (Ross, 1974, p. 133). In 1882, upon a recommendation from his former professor, William James, Hall was appointed professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University. Among his students were John Dewey and James McKeen Cattel, both of whom became noted leaders in education in the first half of the twentieth century (Wilson, 1914). In 1888, because Jonas Clark was impressed with Hall's personality and work at Johns Hopkins, Hall became the first president of the university Clark was founding on the Johns Hopkins model (Ross, 1974, pp.

    PSYCHOLOGISTS AND PHYSICIANS IN THE BORDERLANDS OF SCIENCE, 1900-1942 By WADE EDWARD PICKREN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1995 For my mother: WILLIE MERLE PICKREN, and in memoriam, BILL PICKREN, You taught me to love and work. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my deepest gratitude to the chairman of my dissertation committee, Donald A. Dewsbury. Dr. Dewsbury has, from the beginning of this long project, been a model of encouragement, kindness, and unfailing generosity. He has shared his time, his great breadth of learning, his editorial ability, and his materials with me. My understanding of the history of psychology has been greatly deepened by our conversations. I also wish to acknowledge that Dr. Dewsbury has helped me to understand that data is a plural! Dr. Wilse B. Webb has also stimulated much thought in me about what I was doing and where I was going with my ideas. Although I did not avail myself of his wisdom as oft as I would have liked, his voice and his sharp eye were always with me. I hope that, in the future, time will allow me a greater opportunity to benefit from his great knowledge and experience. Both near at hand and from afar, Dr. Toby Appel has blessed me with the keenness of her insight . Her acceptance and friendly corrections of my halting efforts to write history have been much appreciated. One of my most pleasant memories of this experience is that of sitting at a table at iii Cafe Gardens talking about the history of biology or psychology, while hoping to hear some Van Morrison on the house music system.
