Nora Newcombe

Nora Newcombe is a Professor of Psychology at Temple University, United States. She is a nationally recognized expert on cognitive development, and her research focuses on spatial development and the development of episodic and autobiographical memory.

Newcombe received a B.A. in psychology from Antioch College in 1972 and a Ph.D. from Harvard University in psychology and social relations in 1976. She was employed at Pennsylvania State University from 1976-1981 before accepting a position on the faculty of Temple University in 1981, where she has remained since. Newcombe directs the Spatial Intelligence and Learning Center (SILC), a science of learning center headquartered at Temple and also involving Northwestern, the University of Chicago, and the University of Pennsylvania. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2001.^[1]
