	Loeb
		Jacques Loeb was born in the small Rhenish town of Mayen in 1859.
		Although Loeb made many notable contributions to biological theory and research in the later part of his career, [33] his place in the history of behaviorism derives almost entirely from the influence he exerted during his sojourn at the University of Chicago.
		Loeb was full of enthusiasm for the application of physiology and biochemistry to the problems of associative memory.

	Psychology History
		Jacques Loeb was born of a Jewish family in Rhine Providence of Prussia in 1859.
		Loeb's father was a prosperous merchant, an ardent Francophine and an admirer of the Enlightenment and French Revolution, he encouraged Jacques to read eighteenth century classics of free thought.
		Loeb argued that the consciousness among animal's was by association of memory, which is when and animal learns to act to a desired stimuli in a certain or desired way.

		Born in Mayen, Germany, in 1859, Jacques Loeb, born Isaak Loeb, was the first of two sons born to Benedict and Barbara Isay Loeb.
		Loeb saw this approach as a way to answer his philosophical questions about free will and viewed animal tropism as a way to see if free will could be controlled.
		Loeb's work on artificial parthenogenesis gained him fame in both the scientific community and the popular press and established him as a major figure in biology.

	Chapter 2 (1900-1918)
		Loeb was interested in control of animal movement, but Jennings was concerned with a more traditional exploration of the diverse mechanisms whereby organisms actively adapt to their surroundings.
		Loeb's concrete research program was adopted directly from botanist Julius Sachs who had previously identified and named heliocentric tropisms in plants (Pauly, 1981).
		That is, Loeb attempted to describe the so-called psychological processes of lower animals in terms of empirically identifiable and ultimately chemical-mechanical processes (Loeb, 1900).

	Kay Guide: A Survey of the Life Sciences
		Perhaps the greatest influence of all was exerted by Simon Flexner*, who had made his mark in bacteriology and pathology before the turn of the century; the extensive collection of his papers at the APS provides a wealth of information on his scientific contributions.
		The German émigré Jacques Loeb**, on the other hand, shunned administrative entanglements; his impact on general physiology was made primarily through his research and his charismatic personality.
		An arch-determinist, Loeb, unlike Lillie, approached physiology as a purely mechanistic process, completely reducible to the laws of physics and chemistry, and his investigations on fertilization and phototropism were aimed at the control of life.

		Having received an M.D. degree from the University of Strasbourg (1884), Loeb began work in biology at the University of Würzburg (1886-88) and continued at the University of Strasbourg (1888-90) and the Naples biological station (1889-91).
		Loeb's work was significant in showing that the initiation of cell division in fertilization was controlled chemically and was in effect separate from the transmission of hereditary traits.
		Loeb also is remembered for his work on the physiology of the brain, animal tropisms (involuntary orientations), regeneration of tissue, and the duration of life.

	Bibliographic Essays: Life Sciences in the Twentieth Century
		The Prussian-born American physiologist Jacques Loeb (1859-1924), a long-time investigator at the Rockefeller Institute and a close professional friend of such figures as T. Morgan, Boss Harrison, J. McKeen Cattell, and W.J. Osterhout, set the style of experimental and quantitative biology that influenced a whole generation of biologists, especially in the United States.
		Loeb championed what he called "the mechanistic conception of life"--the title of a major address he gave in 1911 and of a book of essays collected in 1912 (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard Univ. Press, 1964).
		A new biography of Loeb is Philip J. Pauly's Controlling Life: Jacques Loeb and the Engineering Ideal in Biology (New York: Oxford Univ. Press, 1987).

		It was in this context that he met Jacques Loeb (1859-1924), a biologist who not only made a number of independent contributions to objective psychology but also was exerted a critical influence on the direction of Watson's nascent objectivism.
		Through an understanding of response mechanisms, Loeb argued, scientists could learn to govern organic behavior much as engineers control the behavior of inorganic materials, and to achieve this understanding, he thought it necessary to focus on the reactions of many different types of organisms.
		The context of this discussion is an analysis of the debate between Loeb and Herbert Spencer Jennings (1868-1947) regarding the nature of invertebrate behavior.

	ISHN 2006 Annual Meeting -- Abstract 39 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Already after his medical studies at the universities of Berlin, Munich and Strasburg and his M. D.-graduation - 1884 - under Friedrich Goltz (1834-1902), the experimental biologist Jacques Loeb had become interested in de- and regenerative problems of the brain.
		To further pursue his scientific aims, Loeb moved to the Naples Zoological Station between 1890 and 1891, where he conducted various experimental series on regenerative phenomena in sea animals.
		Yet, it is impossible to conceive of Loeb's groundbreaking experiments without taking the wider scientific network of teachers, colleagues as well as local milieus into account, in which he worked in, as they also exerted a strong influence on a growing group of collaborators, neuroscientific peers and research pupils.

	parthenogenesis — FactMonster.com
		In 1900, Jacques Loeb accomplished the first clear case of artificial parthenogenesis when he pricked unfertilized frog eggs with a needle and found that in some cases normal embryonic development ensued.
		Artificial parthenogenesis has since been achieved in almost all major groups of animals, although it usually results in incomplete and abnormal development.

		JOEL E. Donald Fleming's new edition of Loeb's Mechanistic Conception of Life explains both the former stellar position and the present eclipse of the biologist Jacques Loeb (1859-1924).
		When the first edition of this book appeared in 1912, Loeb ranged in poplar opinion with Galileo, Newton, and Darwin: he was a great-scientific innovator, who applied the principles of his science to the problems of ordinary men.
		This second edition of Loeb's most famous book-recalls an alternative to today's canon that the principles of scientific inquiry may be legitimately applied only to the defined problems of science.
