Do you have what it takes to become a pilot, bombardier, or navigator in World War II? Find out at this free opening reception for our newest exhibit, Psychology Takes Flight!
Psychology Takes Flight explores the work of psychologists in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Psychological science played a key role in the war effort, as psychologists were called upon to redesign aircraft for maximum safety and efficiency, train and classify new recruits, and administer complex psychomotor tests. Visitors are invited to assess their skills and knowledge with interactive recreations of original tests.
Remarks will begin at 6:00pm, and light refreshments will be offered throughout the event.
