Biographical note
The School of Psychology at Liverpool is a department with a strong history and reputation for excellence and owes its origins to Nobel Laureate, Sir Charles Sherrington, who founded a laboratory at the University in 1895 to study behaviour. The School of Psychology was formally instituted in 1947 and has been associated with such eminent scholars as R. S. Woodworth, H. J. Hyatt and Sir Cyril Burt. From 1948 to 1975 the Professor of Psychology was L. S. Hearnshaw.
