On This Day: 14 September
1873 - Edwin B. Twitmyer was born. Twitmyer used methods of classical conditioning to condition the knee-jerk reflex to the sound of a tone. His work preceded Pavlov's but was indifferently received by the American psychological community. His career was in speech therapy. He was the first director of the first special speech clinic in the United States, at the University of Pennsylvania.
1907 - Solomon Asch was born. Asch is well known for his pioneering experimental studies of conformity. The Asch line judgment paradigm established a standard technique for studying factors influencing conformity. APA Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award, 1967.
1936 - The first frontal lobotomy performed in the United States was carried out by Walter Freeman and James Watts at the George Washington University Hospital. Freeman became a nationwide advocate for the procedure. By 1951, an estimated 18,608 lobotomies had been performed in the United States.
1953 - Alfred C. Kinsey's book Sexual Behavior in the Human Female was published, creating popular discussion equal to the 1948 publication of Kinsey's book on male sexual behavior.
