(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Leo Joseph Postman was a Russian-born American psychologist known for his research on human memory. Career He taught at the University of California, Berkeley from 1950 to his retirement in 1987. In 1961, he founded Berkeley's Institute of Human Learning, which later became the Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Psychological Association, as well as the president of the Western Psychological Association in 1968.
