This site was researched and prepared by Dan
Hollar, Debbie Wright and Heather Parbst as part of a
Directed Individual Study (DIS) project in Spring 2002
conducted under the direction of Dr. Michael Rashotte.
Mr. Stan Warmath, Facilities Manager in the Department of
Psychology, advised us on web matters and coordinated
getting the site together from text and
photos.
This DIS project came about as a result of these
students' interest in doing a history-related project
after they completed Rashotte's course, History &
Systems of Psychology (PSY 4604), in Fall 2001. These
students had taken many of their undergraduate psychology
courses in the Kellogg Research Building but they had no
idea about Kellogg's place in psychology. A reading of
the Benjamin & Bruce (1982) paper on Kellogg greatly
informed and fascinated them about Winthrop Kellogg's
varied research career, and led to them undertaking the
current project.
We hope that this web site will be informative to
anyone interested in the history of psychology, and
particularly to future students at Florida State
University who will take classes and do research in the
Kellogg Research Building.
Additional
acknowledgment's
Dr. Ludy T. Benjamin (Texas A&M University)
and Dr. Darryl Bruce (St. Mary's University,
Halifax, Nova Scotia) graciously permitted us to use
their 1982 Psychological Record paper as the
backbone of this web site. We also thank them for
constructive comments on a preliminary version of this
site.
Dr. Charles Rice (Kenyon College, Gambier,
Ohio), a student of Winthrop Kellogg and editor of the
Psychological Record, gave permission for us to
reproduce the Benjamin and Bruce (1982) paper in whole as
an Adobe pdf file, and in selected parts on this web
site, and James Deese's (1973) In Memoriam
concerning Kellogg's career, which also appeared in the
Journal. We thank Dr. Rice for providing us with some
materials related to the section on Sonar in the Blind,
and for his comments on a preliminary version of this
site.
Robert Kohler (retired engineer Florida State
University) who worked with Kellogg on the porpoise sonar
project in the 1950s kindly provided permission for us to
use an except from his oral history which is available in
its entirety from the Reichelt Program for Oral History
at Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306-2200.

Dr. Robin
Sellers, Director of the Reichelt
Oral History Program gave us permission to use the

Deborah H. Rouse (Instructor Librarian, Special
Collections, Strozier Library, Florida State University)
kindly provided us with archival photographs from the
University collection related to Kellogg's work at
Florida State on sonar in porpoises.
Penn State Media Sales kindly provided video
tapes of films made by Winthrop and Luella Kellogg as
part of the Ape & Child project in 1932. The
Media Sales group arranged for us to have movie clips of
selected segments of these tapes and gave permission for
us to use the clips on this site. The entire tapes are
available for rental or purchase from: Penn State Public
Broadcasting, Media Sales, 118 Wagner Building,
University Park, PA 16802 USA. On-line Media Catalogue:

Dr.
James C. Smith (Florida State University), a student
of Winthrop Kellogg, provided many archival materials
related to Kellogg's career and a personal perspective on
Kellogg. He also commented on an earlier version of this
web site.
Dr. David Baker (Director, Archive
of the History of American Psychology, University of
Akron, Akron OH) provided consultation and information
about holdings at the Archive concerning Winthrop
Kellogg.
John
Chalcraft (Graphic Artist, Program in Neuroscience)
and Charles Badland (Scientific Photographer, Program in
Neuroscience) provided significant help with various
images used on this web site.
Dr.
Robert J. Contreras (Chair, Dept. of Psychology,
Florida State University), provided encouragement and
material support for the parts of our research effort
that required fiscal expenditures.
The Scarborough Historical Archive of the Department
of Psychology at Florida State University provided
several documents and images that we have used on this
site. This historical archive was begun by Dr. Barron
Scarborough in the late 1980s and includes many unique
holdings related to the Department's history. Dr.
Scarborough retired from the Department in 1989 and is
