PSYCHOLOGY AT UCSC: A BRIEF HISTORY
1921: The Catholic University is founded
by a religious scientist, Father Agostino
Gemelli, neurologist and psychologist.
“A University has to be a flash point of research in which
scholars and trainees can collaboratively inquire new problems
and review old knowledges. Only in this way, critical thinking
can be promoted in students… but what is more important
- given the special nature of our university - is that only in this
way the spirit of research can be implemented”.
PSYCHOLOGY AT UCSC: A BRIEF HISTORY
1924: The Laboratory of Psychology and Biology was founded by
Father Agostino Gemelli.
That was the beginning of the experimental psychology research in
Italy and Europe. Some of the instruments used by the founder are
still preserved at the Post-graduate School of Psychology “Agostino
Gemelli” (setted in Via Nirone).
