History

The very first meeting of the EPS was held in 1946, St John’s College, Cambridge. It was convened by Oliver Zangwill with the aim of providing a new body for people specifically engaged in experimental psychology.

The material described in the pages below was originally written for “The Experimental Psychology Society: 1946 – 1996”, edited by J. D. Mollon and published on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary meeting, Cambridge, 1996.
