Hans Wallach (November 28, 1904 – February 5, 1998) was a German-American experimental psychologist whose research focused on perception and learning. Although he was trained in the Gestalt psychology tradition, much of his later work explored the adaptability of perceptual systems based on the perceiver's experience, whereas most Gestalt theorists emphasized inherent qualities of stimuli and downplayed the role of experience. Wallach's studies of achromatic surface color laid the groundwork for subsequent theories of lightness constancy, and his work on sound localization elucidated the perceptual processing that underlies stereophonic sound. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Guggenheim Fellow, and recipient of the Howard Crosby Warren Medal of the Society of Experime

  • Hans Leopold Wallach (* 28. November 1904 in Schöneberg; † 5. Februar 1998) war ein deutsch-amerikanischer Experimentalpsychologe. Seine Forschung konzentrierte sich auf die Wahrnehmung und das Lernen. Obgleich er in der Tradition der Gestaltpsychologie ausgebildet worden war, untersuchte er später die Anpassungsfähigkeit des Wahrnehmungssystems auf der Basis der Erfahrungen des Wahrnehmenden. Demgegenüber betonten die meisten Gestaltheoretiker die angeborenen Eigenschaften der Reize und halten die Rolle der Erfahrungen für geringer. Wallachs Studien zur achromatischen Oberfläche von Farben schuf die Grundlage für später entwickelte Theorien der Helligkeitskonstanz von Farben. Seine Arbeit zur Lokalisation von Schallquellen erklärte den Wahrnehmungsprozess, der der Stereofonie zugrunde lie (de)
