		Cattell was primarily concerned with the assessment of individual differences and used reaction time measures to determine the range and variability of human nature.
		Cattell was an extrememly prolific researcher and made contributions to the study of reaction time, association, perception and reading, psychophysics, determination of order of merit, and individual differences.

	Iconic memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although four-to-five alphanumeric characters can commonly be reported after a single brief exposure (e.g., James McKeen Cattell, 1886), observers have frequently reported the phenomenal impression of many more elements immediately after display presentation (e.g., Gill and Dallenbach, 1926).
		These two observations can be reconciled if it is assumed that visual memory [1] consists of two parts: one, a rich, but rapidly decaying sensory trace of the entire stimulus display; and two, a short-term memory store of lower capacity, able to retain its contents over several seconds.
		This finding is consistent with previous studies of a similar kind (e.g., Cattell, 1886), and suggests that whole report is limited by a memory system with a capacity of four-to-five items.

	MindData - The History of Psychological Profiling
		William James (1842-1910), often considered the greatest American psychologist, argued that human behavior was the result of hereditary, habits and/or instincts.
		A contemporary of William James, James McKeen Cattell (1860-1944) is credited with influencing the movement in American psychology toward a more practical, test-oriented approach to the study of mental processes.
		Cattell argued that traits were the central variables in personality and could be divided into three general categories; dynamic traits-those that set an individual into action to accomplish a goal; ability traits-which concern the individual's effectiveness in reaching a goal; and temperament traits-which were the stylistic aspects, like dispositions, moods, and emotions.
