One problem with the article is that it was mentioned that selective amnesia is suggested to be merged into Lacunar amnesia. Psych2015 (talk) 14:52, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

I couple questions we have are that there isn't a lot of information on selective amnesia, specifically, so could we possibly do just amnesia? Another question I have is how developed do you want this page to be by the end of the semester? There is no previous information on the page, so we are starting from scratch.

Contributions
David Krech had a life filled with different careers and moved around to many different universities to pursue his dream of becoming a professor. During his fellowship in Chicago, he was part of a study that experimented on the brains of rats. He found that cortical lesions do affect brain chemistry and there appeared to be at least two anatomically delimited cortical areas (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech was now a published brain researcher. Also, while at Chicago, he completed a study that measured "Lewinischen tension" in rats, which was discussed at Bryn Mawr in 1935 (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Psych2015 (talk) 22:52, 12 April 2015 (UTC)Krech had always wanted to be a psychology professor and in 1938 he accepted his first offer at the University of Colorado to be an assistant professor in the psychology department. He soon later found out that he was only offered an instructorship because of an anonymous letter that had been sent to the President of Boulder, complaining that Krech was a trouble maker and hard to work with (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech's introduction into social psychology came when he was offered a job to investigate why poor people were reluctant to use food stamps. He worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture researching why people who were eligible for food stamps did not take full advantage. He found that people had "too much pride" when it came to being on food stamps and it would be obvious to the community that they were poor and needed charity (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). After many years of hard work and research, Krech was finally offered a job to be an assistant professor at Swathmore (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974), and in 1948 published his first book, "Theory and Problems of Social Psychology." This book was soon revised and turned into "Individual in Society (1962)" (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech soon went back to his roots at Berkeley and continued to publish his works on perception and personality (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Psych2015 (talk) 15:42, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Influences
David Krech was weighing his options when he began his undergrad at NYU. He was inspired by Sinclair Lewis's "Arrowsmith," and thought a scientist would be an exciting and rewarding career (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech was also inspired by Supreme Court Justice Brandeis and thought that practicing law would be a breeze with the workload being something he is familiar with and good at. After weighing his options, Krech decided to enroll in prelaw at NYU with the hopes of becoming a Supreme Court Justice (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). During his sophomore year of college is when he took his first introductory psychology class and was fascinated. William Darby Glenn was his professor and guided him down the path of becoming a convinced behaviorist (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech decided to go back to Berkeley after 5 years at NYU, and collaborated with three different psychologists on three different experiments, which were soon published (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). He worked with Egerton L. Ballachey, Jack Buel, Edwin E. Ghiselli, Calvin Hall, James A. Hamilton, Charles Honzik, John Jorowitz, and Esther Robinson, in which they formed a group called the "nuclear educational group," in which they worked together to collaborate ideas as well as talked about other psychology related topics (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974).
