Herr, S.J. and his colleagues in the mid-20<sup>th<\/sup> century. Exhibit items include an early model of a word association test, and images and information about a unique instrument built to measure emotional responses. In total the free online exhibit showcases over 40 archival documents, images and photographs never seen by the public until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition was developed through an international collaboration between <strong>visiting scholar, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbk.ac.uk\/our-staff\/profile\/8005790\/marjorie-lorch\">Marjorie Lorch<\/a>, Professor of Neurolinguistics at Birkbeck, University of London and Kathy Young, University Archivist at Loyola University Chicago Libraries<\/strong>. Drawing on the substantial unpublished material in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luc.edu\/media\/lucedu\/archives\/pdfs\/herr2.pdf\">Herr Papers<\/a> at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luc.edu\/archives\/index.shtml\">Loyola University Chicago Archives &amp; Special Collections<\/a>, the exhibit will present Herr\u2019s research achievements and impactful collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Marjorie Lorch commented: \u201cWe are excited to display these items for the public and for the psychiatry, psychology, and linguistics communities. Throughout his career, Herr&nbsp;maintained a large interdisciplinary network that extended outward from city and state to national and international academic, professional, and religious organizations. He&nbsp;also authored numerous&nbsp;journal articles&nbsp;and books and was honored by many academic and professional bodies. In developing several assessment instruments and diagnostic tools Herr was a key player in the exploration of the relationship between linguistic and other cognitive resources. His approach to assessment represents a significant historical development which has been overlooked by subsequent researchers, and we believe it holds potential value for addressing current research questions in psychiatry, psychology, and linguistics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/libapps.luc.edu\/digitalexhibits\/s\/herr-psychology\/page\/herr-home\"><em>Innovations in Language, Emotion, and Empathy <\/em>Research<\/a> is a project supported by a Wellcome Institutional Strategic Support Fund Award to Marjorie Lorch, co-curator of the exhibition.
