| Abstract: | Saul Sternberg is recognized for his achievements in psychology. This article provides a citation explaining his accomplishments, a biography and a selected bibliography. The citation is as follows: "For his uniquely powerful, creative, and elegant research on human information processing. He has contributed immensely influential experimental procedures, analytical techniques, and theoretical models. These include the Sternberg memory-scanning paradigm, the additivefactor method for analyzing reaction-time data, and the serial exhaustive search model. Their impact has fostered a revolution in the study of perception, memory, attention, and motor control, while setting new standards of scientific rigor. Publications of his work have also exhibited a clarity of style and grace seldom, if ever, achieved by other authors. The field has likewise benefitted greatly from his dedicated service on the boards of numerous professional societies and journals." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
