Goering Ewald von

Hering (Hering) Ewald von (5.8.1834, Altgersdorf - 27.1.1918, Leipzig) - German physiologist and psychologist.
He received medical education in 1853-1858 i.i. the University of Leipzig (took a course at E.G. Weber G.T. Fechner), defended his doctoral thesis on zoology, at that time, Goering appeared particularly interested in the problem of general biology and then worked as a practical physician and an assistant in the clinic, under the leadership E.G. Weber has prepared a dissertation on binocular spatial perception to fill the post of assistant professor in 1862. He - the assistant professor of physiology at the University of Leipzig, from 1865. - Professor of medicine, physics and physiology at the Medical-Surgical Joseph's Academy in Vienna, here together with J. Breuer studied the reflex changes in respiration during stimulation of the vagus nerve ( 'Selbststeuerung der Atmung'), which was one of the first experiments studying the principle of feedback, so important for emerged much later Cybernetics. They had studied communication change in the level of blood pressure and the degree of attention ( 'Traube-Hering waves').
In 1870, Mr.. Goering accepted an invitation to work at the University of Prague (here was the first rector of the German University in 1882), in 1895. returned to Leipzig, where he became the successor to. Ludwig. Member of the German Academy of Sciences (1869), foreign corresponding member Petersburg AN (1905).
Goering - a pioneer of experimental psychology perception. For methodological orientations was guided by the subjective sensory experience (observation and description). Originally on many issues shared position D. Helmholtz, but then became a classic of its opponent, developing nativisticheskuyu theory.

Due to its phenomenological and nativisticheskim plants had a significant effect on K. Stumpf and Gestalt psychology in general.
