It was the mid-1950s, and social scientists were entranced by the human insights promised by Rorschach tests and other innovative scientific protocols. Kaplan, along with anthropologist A. I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, sought out a varied range of non-European subjects among remote and largely non-literate peoples around the globe. Recording their dreams, stories, and innermost thoughts in a vast database, Kaplan envisioned future researchers accessing the data through the cutting-edge Readex machine. Almost immediately, however, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and eventually it was forgotten."-- 600 10 Kaplan, Bert, |d1919- 650 0 Psychology |xData processing |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Psychology |xResearch |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Dreams |xData processing |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Sociology |xData processing |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Sociology |xResearch |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Big data |xHistory |y20th century. 942 |2ddc |cBK 948 0 20151202 |bi |dbatch |elts |happr 948 3 20151202 |hCoutts |i111215NAapp.mrc 948 0 20151203 |bm |dfw11 |elts 948 1 20151203 |bc |dgln1 |elts 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6300_000000000000000_LEM |70 |8REF |980260OSA |bOSA |d2016-02-10 |eOSA |l0 |o300 LEM |r2016-02-10 |w2016-02-10 |yBK |cReference 920 01 2Xbr9zXz 992 01 300_000000000000000_LEM |bWZZ_ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_ELD 966 |cIn the Research Room
