Feigenbaum: In The Brandeis University Psychology Department, 1962-65: Recall Comparative Civilizations Review 63 In The Brandeis University Psychology Department, 1962-65: Recalling A Great American Social Theorist Kenneth Feigenbaum Abraham H. Maslow is one of the best known psychologists of the 20th century. His theory of motivation, most cogently expressed in his hierarchy of needs, is based upon biological assumptions mainly devoid of cultural influences, and it is not sensitive to the role of civilizations effecting intellectual development and ideology. Critiques of these possible shortcomings in his theory are abundant (Trigs, 2004). Maslow and the Author This paper, however, contextualizes the man in his living space, and it also looks at Humanistic Psychology, of which he was an early intellectual leader, through my personal experience from 1962 to 1965. -
Richard Marx Held (1922–2016)
GESTALT THEORY, DOI 10.1515/gth-2017-0006 © 2017 (ISSN 2519-5808); Vol. 39, No.1, 90–97 Obituary - Nachruf Richard Marx Held (1922–2016) Photo: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA Spillmann, Richard Marx Held (1922–2016) Richard (Dick) Held, born in New York City, received his Bachelor of Arts in Engineering in 1943 and his Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts in 1944 from Columbia University, before becoming research assistant to Wolfgang Köhler at Swarthmore College in 1946. There he obtained his Master of Arts in Psychology in 1948. He was a research fellow at the New York Zoological Society in 1948 and, afterward, enrolled in the Graduate Program in Psychology at Harvard University. Faculty members at that time included Georg von Békésy, S.S. Stevens, J.G. Bee- be-Center, B. Verplanck, and B.F. Skinner. Held also attended talks and colloquia by Karl Lashley. He received his PhD in Experimental Psychology from Harvard in 1952 with a thesis on adaptation of auditory localization. Thereafter, he became an instructor and, later, Professor and Department Chair at Brandeis University between 1952 and 1963, conducting research on visual and visuomotor adap- tation to various kinds of optical rearrangement. From 1955 to 1956, he was a member at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ, USA. From 1962 to 1963, Held was National Science Foundation Senior Research Fel- low and Visiting Professor at the Department of Psychology, Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology (MIT), USA. In 1963, he moved to MIT as Full Professor, where he continued his studies of visual rearrangement and visuomotor devel- opment in both humans and monkeys. -

(1944) Swarthmore College, M.A. (1948) Harvard University, Ph.D. (1952) APPOINTMENTS: Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, Brandeis University (1953–1963) Member, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ (1955–1956) NSF Senior Research Fellow, and Visiting Professor (1962–1963) Department of Psychology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (1962–1986) Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (1986) New England College of Optometry (1995) HONORS AND AWARDS (SELECTED): American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1967) Society of Experimental Psychologists (1971) National Academy of Sciences (1973) Honorary Degree of Ocular Science (The New England College of Optometry) (1977) Glenn A. Fry Award (American Academy of Optometry) (1979) Howard Crosby Warren Medal (Society of Experimental Psychologists) (1983) Doctorat Honoris Causa, Free University of Brussels, Belgium (1984) Kenneth Craik Award, Cambridge University, England (1985) Galileo Award (American Foundation for Vision Awareness) (1996) Since childhood Richard Held was intrigued by the illusions of vision and their motor consequences. He and his colleagues made extensive studies of the effects of sensory rearrangement and have modeled the adaptive processes that reduce, and sometimes eliminate, the induced errors. He pursued studies of the visual capacities of animal and human neonates so as to test the implications of plasticity for early development of spatial vision and motor control in accord with the following logic. If the adaptive process yields full and exact compensation in the mature animal, then it should be capable of compensating for any neonatal errors and may even account for development itself. -
