The simulated shock generator for Stanley Milgram’s famed
studies on obedience, artifacts from the Stanford Prison
Experiment, and a curious machine called a psychograph that
promised to read your personality by measuring the bumps on your
head--all of these items are on display at the Cummings Center for
the History of Psychology at the University of Akron in Akron,
Ohio. The center’s mission is to preserve and interpret
psychology’s historical record. Director Cathy Faye, PhD, talks
about the center’s collection and how she and her staff work to
preserve psychology’s past as well as document its present.
