Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Memorializes F. J. McGuigan. The core of McGuigan's empirical and theoretical research focused on the explication of cognition through the measurement of covert, principally, muscular, behavior. He emphasized the importance of creating a science of covert behavior and began to develop and promote the evolution of cognitive psychophysiology from a compendium of mentalistic rationalization to a firm database of studies of covert behavior. He became a leading authority on the principles of progressive relaxation. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
