Donald Hebb is often considered the “father of neuropsychology” because of the way he was able to merge the psychological world with the world of neuroscience. His theory of Hebbian learning was introduced in his classic work The Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory (1949).
Donald Hebb was born in 1904 and lived in Chester until he was 16 when his parents moved to Dartmouth, also in Nova Scotia. Donald’s parents were physicians.
