ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dimitri Uznadze

Dimitri Uznadze was a Georgian psychologist. He was one of the first people to study how people think and how their brain works. He studied how people learned about the world around them (called "cognitive psychology") and how people remembered things (called "memory"). He was also interested in how mental states (like feeling happy or sad) affected how people behaved and how they thought. He believed that people's behavior and thought processes were closely related. He thought that by understanding how people's brains worked, we could learn more about how to help people be healthier and happier.
