title: Nathan Kogan (1927-2013).
abstract: Nathan Kogan, professor emeritus of psychology at the New School for Social Research and visiting scholar at the Educational Testing Service (ETS), died on April 28, 2013, in Princeton, New Jersey, at the age of 86. The son of immigrants from Poland and Ukraine, Nat was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on May 2, 1926. Nat described himself as a general psychologist, an apt characterization given the remarkable breadth of his research spanning cognitive, personality, social, developmental, and, most recently, evolutionary psychology. He was an unusually modest man, a conscientious collaborator, and a dedicated mentor to generations of graduate students, junior faculty, and young researchers. A prodigious researcher and a prolific writer (with more than 100 articles and chapters and several books to his credit), he was active until the very end.
