London, United Kingdom We first spent proper time with George when we went to visit him and his wife Jean at their house in San Diego in about 1995. I was 11, Anna must have been 8, and we had a lot of fun together. We explored their house, with its extensive collection of B.

The University of Memphis I was a graduate student of George Mandler at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), during the heyday of the cognitive revolution in the mid-1970s.

University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom George Mandler was undoubtedly one of the great cognitive psychologists of the 20th Century, one who was instrumental in shaping our thinking about memory processes (activation, organisation), consciousness, cognition, and emotion for several decades.

University of California, San Diego I met George Mandler in 1965 when he was the founding chair of the department of Psychology at the newly formed University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and — along with the other two members of the few-months-old department, Bill McGill and Norman Anderson — he hired me. George was a major force in the develo...
University College London, United Kingdom When George was forced to leave Austria so abruptly by himself, alone as a teenager in the late 1930s, he came to England, and although he then moved on to the United States a few years later, he retained his affection for England. I got to know him a little during the 1970s, when he and Jean spent a sabbat...
