Psychology

Each year the Psychology Department at Baldwin-Wallace College invites a distinguished Psychologist to the campus for lectures and personal interaction with students and faculty. The program is based on a generous endowment to the Department in honor of Kathryn Grover Harrington and Robert A. Harrington.

 

The 2007/2008 Harrington Distinguished Visiting Professor is Dr. Larry Squire. Dr. Squire is Professor of Psychiatry, Neurosciences, and Psychology at the University of California, San Diego, and a Research Career Scientist at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in San Diego.  He has served as president of the Society for Neuroscience (1993-1994), is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was named a William James Fellow of the American Psychological Association.  Dr. Squire is the author of more than 350 scientific research articles and several books, including the widely-read Memory and Brain (1987) and Memory: From Mind to Molecules (1999).

 

Dr. Squire made two presentations to the B-W community. On Wednesday, November 14th, he presented,  "Conscious and Unconscious Memory Systems of the Mammalian Brain,"  and on Thursday, November 15th, he presented, "The Neuroscience of Memory in Historical Perspective: 1880-1995."
