Edward Lee "Ted" Thorndike was an American psychologist who spent nearly his entire career at Teachers College, Columbia University. His work on Comparative psychology and the learning process led to the theory of connectionism and helped lay the scientific foundation for modern educational psychology. He also worked on solving industrial problems, such as employee exams and testing. He was a member of the board of the Psychological Corporation and served as president of the American Psychological Association in 1912.
From the lowest animals of which we can affirm intelligence up to man this type of intellect is found.

Psychology is the science of the intellects, characters and behavior of animals including man.
Human folk are as a matter of fact eager to find intelligence in animals.
