1926 Paul A. Kolers was born.  Kolers is known for his work in the perception of motion.  He was also interested in symbols, semantics, remembering, and imagining.  He developed a cognitive procedural theory, indicating that the mind can be understood through the study of the procedures necessary to complete complex mental acts.

1992 Former Surgeon General C.
