Education[edit] Neisser attended Harvard in the late 1940s working toward a psychology major. Neisser graduated summa cum laude in 1950.[7] He had become an “infracaninophile,” which translates to “underdog-lover”. Neisser had written that his enthusiasm had far outweighed his skill in playing baseball, he said that he was the “kid who was always chosen last” to play.[4] He had contributed this as to why he had a “lifelong sympathy with the underdog”.[4] Neisser also stated that this was probably a contributing factor as to why he was drawn to Gestalt psychology; he considered it to be an underdog in the department. George A. Miller supervised Neisser’s senior thesis research, which helped him gain admission to the master’s program at Swarthmore College. Neisser wanted to attend Swarthmore College because that was where Wolfgang Kohler, one of the founders of Gestalt psychology, was a faculty member.[5] Instead of working with Wolfgang Kohler he ended up working with Kohler’s assistant, Hans Wallach.[6] Neisser had also met and became friends with a new assistant professor, Henry Gleitman.[4] Neisser graduated earning his master’s degree in 1952.[6] Neisser went on to obtain his doctorate from Harvard’s Department of Social Relations in 1956. According to Fancher and Rutherford, he completed his dissertation in Psychophysics.[4] He spent a year afterwards as an instructor at Harvard.[6] He went on to teach at Brandeis and Emory Universities, before establishing himself at Cornell.[7] While at Brandeis University, located in Waltham, Neisser expanded his psychological horizon according to Fancher and Rutherford.[4] Fancher and Rutherford also wrote that Neisser’s department chair was Abraham Maslow.[4] According to Cutting, Neisser felt a “deep sympathy for the idealistic humanism” of Abraham Maslow.[6] Maslow had also been profoundly interested by Gestalt psychology.[4] Oliver Selfridge, a young computer scientist at MIT's Lincoln Laboratories, was the next individual to influence Neisser.[6] Selfridge had been an advocate of machine intelligence.[4] Neisser and Selfridge had become friends, which was crucial for Neisser’s career. Fancher and Rutherford explain that Neisser had become a part-time consultant in Selfridge’s lab, where the two had begun to work on a program together.[4] Selfridge along with Neisser produced the “pandemonium model of pattern recognition, which appeared in Scientific American in 1950."[4] After working with Selfridge, Neisser received multiple grants and began to work in different areas involving thinking, soon after he moved to the University of Pennsylvania. This is where he would write Cognitive Psychology.[6]
