The Observing Eye
We identify three categories of baby diaries prevalent from the late 18th to the late 19th century in Western Europe and the USA – scientific, educational, and domestic. By the end of the 19th century, a canon of ‘scientific’ baby diary literature had been established. The diarists were professionals and almost always parents – among them philosophers, psychologists, evolutionists, educators. Recurring themes, such as the nature of instinctive be…

The artist speaks
Sigmund Koch is widely recognized as a prime mover of the radical transformation of psychology from a discipline dominated by behaviorism and related views to a multivalenced set of inquiries into human mentality and functioning. It is less widely remarked that Koch saw aesthetic endeavors as standing at the center of human life and thus warranting psychologists' closest attention. Koch's interest in aesthetics and art making is evident in his wr…

The Influence of Titles on How Paintings Are Seen
Recently, aestheticians have become interested in questions about title/artwork relations. Following a brief discussion of issues, the authors report on a study that explored how viewers responded to a painting under different titling conditions. Viewing the projected image of a painting while hearing the title spoken, individual subjects talked about what they were seeing and used a flashlight pointer to indicate where they were looking. In this…
Reshaping psychology at Clark
Heinz Werner, a comparative-developmental psychologist who had emigrated from Europe in 1933, came to Clark in 1947 when the once-renowned psychology department was at a low ebb. Under Werner's leadership, the department reestablished its reputation as a center of research and graduate training. It is suggested that Werner's vision of psychology and graduate education led him to form a department that had a unique perspective and was, in many res…
"Museum of the Mind"
This article begins by posing the question of whether titles of artworks are important for the viewer and/of the artist. A series of examples illustrates some ways in which titles structure artwork meaning and shows how titles function as implicit messages for the viewer. Inquiry into the artist's perspective on titling is provided by examining material from research interviews with three contemporary artists. It is proposed that certain formulat…
Imaginary Worlds Take Shape
In a brief survey of psychological approaches to the study of creativity in art, it is noted that relatively little attention has been given to cases where an artist's work has shifted dramatically or suddenly burgeoned. In order to elucidate such phenomena, a case of sudden development in one artist's work is explored psychologically. It's like you're walking around with this enormous suitcase full of magic and you are never allowed to open it, …
Transitional phenomena in early language acquisition
Two transitional phases in the child's early language development are described; the first occurs between prelinguistic vocalization and one-word speech and the second between one-word and patterned speech. Cognitive, linguistic and affective inputs to the acquisition of reference and syntax are discussed in the light of the transitional phenomena that were found. We claim that each major linguistic stage is preceded by a transitional phase which…
