Mary Cheves West Perky (1874–1940) was an American psychologist who was one of the many aspiring female student psychologists who studied under Edward B. Titchener at Cornell University. Perky received her Ph.D. in 1910 and her dissertation was a detailed study of visual, auditory, and olfactory imagery that had a considerable impact with being cited by name in the title of an article as recently as 2012. In 1910, she performed the "Banana Experiment," which led to the discovery of the phenomenon known as the Perky Effect, which examines the link between mental imagery and visual perception.
