John Garcia
American Psychologist/Researcher
Taste Aversion and "Garcia Effect

Back 2

He had an impact on psychology by defining what we know now by the term 'Conditioned taste aversion.' Conditioned taste aversion can be viewed as a survival mechanism due to the fact that people/animals can decipher whether the food about to be eaten are poisonous or not; which essentially can avoid sickness or death. As a result of Garcia's work, conditioned taste aversion has been called the "Garcia Effect."

best known for his maternal-separation and social isolation experiments on rhesus monkeys, which demonstrated the importance of care-giving and companionship in social and cognitive development.

Neurophysiologist/Neurobiologist
Visual System

Back 5

Discovery of orientation selectivity in visual cortex neurons and the characterization of the columnar organization of visual cortex through their discovery of orientation columns and ocular-dominance columns. They found that some neurons fired rapidly when presented with lines at one angle, while others responded best to another angle.
