Biographical / historical:

Lev Vekker (1918-2001) was a Russian-born psychologist, George Mason University professor of psychology, and director/CEO of the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study at George Mason University. Vekker was "a leading theorist for general psychology at Leningrad State University after 1960...Vekker's work toward a metatheory for psychological science began with research on the sense of touch and expanded into a generalized theory of perception and mental processes; he made use of ideas from reflex theory and cybernetics and proposed a model of hierarchical levels of signal systems that managed codes" (Osorina).
