Robert G. Crowder (1939-2000) was an outstanding and pioneering psychologist in the great functional tradition of American psychology. During his career at Yale University, he made major contributions to many topics in cognitive psychology, including memory, learning, the psychology of music, and the psychology of reading. He received numerous academic honors and many of his students went on to have significant careers in the field. His bibliography includes landmark volumes, including Principles of Learning and Memory (1976), which was the first attempt to summarize the field in over two decades.
