23. I advocate for better treatment for the mentally ill. I develop the first mental institution.

25. Who Am I?
24. I demonstrate that we are always learning, even when it is not an intention to do so. I use mice and a maze to show that latent learning can effectively teach as well as the rats that were reinforced to learn the maze quickly.

26. Who Am I?
25. I am the first woman to earn a PhD in Psychology, I experimented with animal behavior and motor development.

27. Who Am I?
26. I am one of the first to conduct psychological experiments. My research enables for more accurate testing and intense research. I discover the just noticeable difference theory.

28. Who Am I?
27. I discover that the more surprising the unconditional stimulus is, the larger the effect it will have on learning.
