D.O. Hebb

Sobre o Autor

D.O. Hebb was a renowned Canadian psychologist, best known for his work in the fields of neuropsychology and cognitive psychology. His seminal book, "The Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory," published in 1949, laid the groundwork for understanding how experiences can shape neural connections in the brain. Hebb's theories emphasized the importance of learning and experience in the development of the brain, introducing the notion that 'cells that fire together, wire together,' which fundamentally changed the landscape of psychology and neuroscience.

Throughout his career, Hebb contributed significantly to the understanding of the relationship between behavior and neurophysiology. He served as a professor at McGill University and influenced many students and researchers in the field. His ideas continue to resonate, providing a framework for modern cognitive neuroscience and influencing research on learning, memory, and brain development. Hebb's legacy endures through the ongoing exploration of the connections between neural processes and behavior.
