D.O. Hebb, one of the outstanding psychologists of this century, was born in Nova Scotia and educated at Dalhousie (B.A.,1925) and McGill (M.A. He taught briefly in public schools.
Hebb's central concern as a psychologist was to develop his neurophysiological theory of such mental functions as thought, imagery, volition, attention and memory - all problems which orthodox behaviourism tended to avoid or dismiss.
Hebb's research is documented by two types of material: his correspondence, and his files on research projects.

 PSYC Call for Book Reviewers: Neuropsychology of Lashley & Hebb
Hebb's revelation involving the reverberatory circuit was especially important for it gave neurological meaning to the earlier proposals of central motive state of Morgan and central excitatory mechanism of Beach as well as the putative reduplicated memory trace of Lashley.
Hebb was by far the more accomplished writer and so, with the publication of his monograph in 1949, he captured the attention of the neuropsychological community with ideas that did not differ substantially from Lashley's.
Hebb's concept of stimulus generalization was developed in connection with his delineation of the formation of the cell assembly underlying the perception of a triangle.

 Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology: Hebb legacy, The
Hebb's specific contributions, as well as his direct and indirect influences, have been frequently recognized in many review articles, symposia and books, and in professorships and prizes which bear his name.
Hebb's interest in "The Nature of Thought" was the theme of a lecture series and book (1980a) celebrating his return to Dalhousie in 1977 as an honorary professor.
Late in his life, Hebb became interested in the phenomena of dissociative states and disorders, confident that careful experimental analysis and thoughtful application of a cellassembly framework would yield a scientifically respectable understanding of this controversial topic.

 The Hebb Legacy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Donald Olding Hebb (1904-1985) was, during his lifetime, an extraordinarily influential figure for the discipline of psychology.
Unimpressed, Hebb was "softened up for [his] encounter with Kohler’s Gestalt Psychology and Lashley’s critique of reflexology." Hebb went to work with Lashley, and in 1936 completed his PhD at Harvard on the effects of early visual deprivation upon size and brightness perception in the rat.
But Hebb believed that a class of theory was needed, of which his was merely one specific form — subject to modification or rejection in the face of new evidence, and that the primary role of our fleetingly correct theories was to stimulate scientific discovery.

 D.O. Hebb (1904 - 1985)
This gaunt maritimer called Hebb, with his stern spectacles and portentous limp, who pronounced "calm" "cam," looked more qualified to teach us about practical seamanship than about the mysteries of the psyche (although his tone was incongruously gentle, sometimes even dreamy).
Without any particular brief for symbolic representation, Hebb had been arguing for four decades that thoughts are processes represented in the head, and that behaviorism, in an over-reaction against introspectionism, was begging the important questions in psychology.
Hebb may well have been taking the proper measure of his subject when he declined the honor of having been its greatest contributor to date.

Best known for the Organization of Behavior, Hebb's study of the effect of early and late brain damage on intelligence has had a major impact on the psychology of individual differences.
Importantly, Hebb's research (presented at the 1941 Annual General Meeting of the American Psychological Association) provided independent, neuropsychological support for a multifaceted intellectual structure.
Hebb's work with primates led to his anthropomorphic description of "chimpanzee horror." This is when these animals are confronted with replicas of dismembered body parts.
