On This Day: 15 February
1856 - Emil Kraepelin was born. Kraepelin was a founder of modern psychiatry and psychopharmacology. He devised an early nomenclature for mental disorders, including new terms such as manic-depressive and paranoid.
1885 - Hans Henning was born. Henning's work was on the senses of smell and taste. He identified six primary scents and four primary tastes and identified chemical analogs of these primary perceptions.
1902 - The first scientific papers were read to the British Psychological Society. James Sully presented "The Evolution of Laughter," William McDougall presented "Fechner's Paradoxical Experiment," and W. G. Smith presented "Pathological Changes in Immediate Memory and Association."
1910 - Ralph F. Hefferline was born. Hefferline was a behavior analyst whose work on operant conditioning of thumb movements demonstrated conditioning of behaviors without the participant's awareness. Hefferline also had an interest in Fritz Perls's Gestalt therapy. Popular psychologist Joyce Brothers completed her doctoral dissertation under Hefferline's supervision.
1934 - Paul Ekman was born. Ekman's research has related emotional state to nonverbal behavior, with special emphasis on facial expression and nonverbal correlates of lying and deception. His cross-cultural studies have demonstrated universals of emotional expression. APA Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award, 1991.
1966 - Julian Rotter's monograph Generalized Expectancies for Internal Versus External Control of Reinforcement was published in Psychological Monographs. By 1982, this article had been cited over 2,735 times and was featured as a "citation classic" by the journal Current Contents.
