Dr. Florence Goodenough
Dr. Florence Goodenough was an American psychologist known for her contributions to child development and intelligence testing. Born in 1885, she developed the Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test, which assessed children's cognitive abilities through their drawings. This test became a valuable tool in educational psychology.
Goodenough's work emphasized the importance of understanding children's perspectives and experiences. She believed that children's drawings could reveal their thoughts and feelings, providing insights into their development. Her research laid the groundwork for future studies in developmental psychology and influenced how educators and psychologists approach child assessment.
