Howard Harvard Kendler (June 9, 1919 — February 17, 2011)[1] was an American psychologist who conducted research on latent and discrimination learning.
He also published influential analyses of the theoretical and methodological foundations of modern psychology.
He studied psychology at Brooklyn College, where he worked as an assistant to Abraham Maslow and conducted a project on thinking under the supervision of Solomon Asch.
[1] During this time, Kendler became interested in Gestalt psychology, which prompted him to enroll at the University of Iowa in the hopes of working with Kurt Lewin.
He was a fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences in 1969 and 1970, and served as president of the Western Psychological Association in 1971.
