Miller, Neal Elgar

    0.02 sec.
Miller, Neal Elgar 

Born Aug. 3, 1909, in Milwaukee, Wis. American psychologist. Professor at Yale and Rockefeller universities (at the latter since 1966). President of the American Psychological Association (1960–61); chairman of the section of psychology of the National Academy of Sciences (1965–67).

As a member of the Yale group (C. Hall, J. Dollard, R. Sears, and others), Miller sought to apply the main principles of the behaviorist concept of learning to the analysis of motivation, aggression, frustration, conflict, and psychotherapy. Much of Miller’s research deals with the electrophysiology of the brain and psychopharmacology.
