E. L. Thorndike, American Psychologist

Edward Lee "Ted" Thorndike (August 31, 1874 - August 9, 1949) was an American psychologist and known as the father of modern educational psychology. His work on animal behavior and the learning process led to the theory of connectionism and helped lay the scientific foundation for modern educational psychology. He also worked on solving industrial problems, such as employee exams and testing. He was one of the first pioneers of active learning, a theory that proposes letting children learn themselves, rather than receiving instruction from teachers. He composed three different word books to assist teachers with word and reading instruction: The Teacher's Word Book (1921), A Teacher's Word Book of the Twenty Thousand Words Found Most Frequently and Widely in General Reading for Children and Young People (1932 ), and, The Teacher's Word Book of 30,000 Words (1944). He died in 1949 at the age of 74.
