The Department of Psychology at McGill University is amongst the oldest in Canada. The first psychology course was taught at McGill in 1850 by Dr. W. T. Leach, and the first psychological laboratory was established in 1910 by Dr. William Dunlop Tait. The Department was officially founded in 1922. Distinguished faculty members of our department have included Drs. Dalbir Bindra, Al Bregman, Virginia Douglas, George Ferguson, Donald O. Hebb, Wally Lambert, John MacNamara, Tony Marley, Ronald Melzack, Brenda Milner, Peter Milner, and James Olds.
