Russell Revlin
Associate Professor, Psychology

In 1966, while browsing the book shelves at UCLA, where he worked at the Neuropsychiatric Institute, Dr. Revlin came upon a symposium on problem solving held at the then Carnegie Institute of Technology. After reading these early papers in Cognitive Psychology, he was determined to work in this new area. The following year he was a graduate student at Carnegie. After receiving his MA and Ph.D. there and a postdoc at Stanford he found his way to CSU Fullerton and finally to UC Santa Barbara in 1975, where he has been active in a full range of endeavors. Inside the laboratory he does basic research on human reasoning; outside the lab, in local schools, he has developed computer-aided instruction for non-native speaker of English, and at the UC system level he chaired a Board that sets admissions requirements for all campuses. Dr. Revlin is a member of the Psychonomic Society and the Cognitive Science Society.
