On This Day: 16 November
1852 - Maximilian von Frey was born. Frey provided the first comprehensive information about the cutaneous senses. He confirmed the existence of locations for heat, cold, pressure, and pain reception and studied differential sensitivities to each. He suggested a sensory receptor for each modality but later work showed these identifications to be incorrect.
1884 - Rudolf Pintner was born. Pintner combined interests in mental measurements and education of people with disabilities. His performance assessment measures supplied half of the items of the World War I Army Beta Test.
1905 - Addressing the general assembly of the Société Libre Pour L'Étude Psychologique de L'Enfant (Society for the Psychological Study of Children), Alfred Binet announced the founding of the Laboratory of Experimental Pedagogy, the first laboratory school in Europe. The school was in Paris, on the rue Grange-aux-belles. On June 5, 1971, a commemorative plaque was placed on the school at rue Claude Vellefaux, which had replaced the original lab school.
1920 - Dorothea Jameson was born. Jameson, with Leo Hurvich, has been responsible for pioneering experiments on color vision and optics. Jameson was the third woman psychologist elected to the National Academy of Sciences (1975). Society of Experimental Psychologists Warren Medal, 1971; APA Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award, 1972.

The mission of the Davidson College Psychology Department is to provide students with an outstanding education in all aspects of the science and practice of psychology. As committed teachers, researchers, practitioners, and advisers, we offer our students a rigorous curriculum of courses, research opportunities, and field experiences, combined with individualized mentoring. Thus are our students fully prepared to use their knowledge of psychology to flourish and to reach their highest level of professional attainment in their lives after Davidson. Critical to this mission, the department continuously works to maintain its standing as a nationally recognized center of psychological research and scholarship by supporting, encouraging, and facilitating the professional development of its faculty and staff. As psychologists who are dedicated to contributing to our discipline, we maintain a positive climate of collegiality, collaboration, high standards, and overall daily excellence within the department, from which our faculty as well as our students benefit both personally and professionally.
