Early life and education
Medin first became interested in psychology when he was an eighth-grader in Algona, Iowa. During this time, he and his classmates were sorted into two groups depending on their singing abilities; Medin was assigned to the non-singers' group.[3] He attended Moorhead State College, graduating in 1965 with a B.A. in psychology, and went on to receive his M.A. and Ph.D. in psychology from the University of South Dakota in 1966 and 1968, respectively.[4] His Ph.D. thesis focused on the way that rhesus monkeys perceive shapes.[3]
Career
Medin joined Rockefeller University in 1968 as a postdoctoral fellow, where he became an assistant professor the following year.[4] He remained at Rockefeller until 1978, when he joined the University of Illinois as an associate professor.[3][4] He joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in 1989,[3] and remained there for three years until joining the faculty of Northwestern University in 1992, because it "held better professional opportunities for his wife, Linda Powers," according to a profile of Medin in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[3]
Research
Medin is best known for his research on concepts and categorization.[5] He has also studied the "role of expertise and culture in the conceptual organization of biological categories."[6]
Honors and awards
Medin was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2002, and into the National Academy of Sciences in 2005.[4]
