Stanley Coren

Coren was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1942 to a secular Jewish family and attended undergraduate classes at the University of Pennsylvania before earning his doctorate at Stanford University. He went on to teach in The Graduate Faculty of The New School for Social Research in New York, New York before moving to the University of British Columbia in 1973, where he was a psychology professor and the Director of the Human Neuropsychology and Perception Laboratory until 2007.{{cite web|url=http://www.stanleycoren.com/bio.htm|title=Stanley Corn Resources and Information.|website=www.stanleycoren.com|access-date=August 9, 2018}} He teaches and researches as a professor emeritus and serves as an adjunct professor in the graduate program at Bergin University of Canine Studies.

Outside of the classroom, Coren is an aficionado of dogs, and has made a career of research into dog behaviour[http://www.readersdigest.ca/mag/2001/01/stanley.html Reader's Digest interview] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060206090710/http://www.readersdigest.ca/mag/2001/01/stanley.html |date=2006-02-06 }}, undated that has led him to national television and into international media. He is an instructor with the Vancouver Dog Obedience Training Club,{{cite web|url=http://VancouverDogObedience.com|title=Vancouver Dog Obedience Training Club|website=vancouverdogobedience.com|access-date=August 9, 2018}} and has participated in obedience trials and competitions across Canada.

In his career, Coren has produced research papers and published items in a wide range of psychological areas including sensory processes (vision and hearing), neuropsychology (handedness, sleep, birth stress effects and behavior genetics) and cognition (information processing and intelligence). He has published more than 400 papers and articles in journals like Science, Nature,[http://search.nature.com/search/?sp-q=%22Stanley+Coren%22&sp-x-9=cat&sp-s=date&submit=go&sp_a=sp1001702d&sp_sfvl_field=subject%7Cujournal&sp_t=results&sp_x_1=ujournal&sp_p_1=phrase nature.com search] The New England Journal of Medicine and many more. His research has been recognized with numerous awards over the years, including being named as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. One of his publications, Sensation and Perception, (co-authored with Lawrence M. Ward and James T. Enns) has been listed as required reading for university courseworkexample: [http://www.jacobs-university.de/academics/courses/Spring_2007/SHSS/710101_1/ Course listing, Jacobs University, 2007] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20070628073811/http://www.jacobs-university.de/academics/courses/Spring_2007/SHSS/710101_1/ |date=2007-06-28 }} and went through six editions before his retirement in 2007.

Coren's research in psychology can be divided into four distinct areas.

{{Further|Sensory processing}}

Coren began his research career studying vision and visual processes. Much of his early work dealt with various visual illusions, and was done in collaboration with Joan. S. Girgus. They are credited with reopening the interest of psychologists in these visual phenomena, and pointing out how they shed light on basic visual processing.Example: Kaufman, L. (1979). The Puzzles We Call Illusions. PsycCRITIQUES, Vol 24 (12) He is also credited with several breakthroughs in the study of what is known as subjective contours or illusory contoursSee, for example, Petry, S. and Meyer, G. E. (1987) The Perception of illusory contours, New York: Springer-Verlag.

Later Coren and A. Ralph Hakstian developed methods for screening vision and hearing without the use of technical equipment, using behaviorally validated questionnaires. These allow group or survey testing for sensory deficits specifically for color blindness,Coren, S. & Hakstian, A. R. (1988) Color vision screening without the use of technical equipment: Scale development and cross validation. Perception and Psychophysics, 43, 115-120 color discrimination ability,Coren, S. & Hakstian, A. R. (1995). Testing color discrimination without the use of special stimuli or technical equipment. Perceptual and Motor Skills, 81, 931-938. visual acuity,Coren, S. & Hakstian, A. R. (1989). A behaviorally validated self-report inventory of the measurement of visual acuity. International Journal of Epidemiology, 18, 451-456. binocular vision and stereopsisCoren, S. & Hakstian, A. R. (1996). Screening for stereopsis without the use of technical equipment: Scale development and cross-validation. International Journal of Epidemiology, 25, 146-152. and hearing sensitivity or absolute threshold of hearing.Coren, S. & Hakstian, A. R. (1992). The development and cross-validation of a self-report inventory to assess pure tone threshold hearing sensitivity. Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 35, 921-928. These tests have been widely disseminated and can be found reprinted in various psychological and sensory textbooks.Example: Gazzaniga, M.E, Halpern, DF, Heatherton, TF. (2009). Psychological Science, New York: Norton

Coren worked on left-handedness and its causes and consequences, with his co-researchers, Diane F. Halpern, Clare Porac, and Alan Searleman. Specifically his research led him to believe that left-handedness could be a marker for various psychological and physical problems.Example: Coren S. Halpern DF. (1991) Left-handedness: A marker for decreased survival fitness. Psychological Bulletin, 109, 90-106 The media became interested in this work when findings began to emerge indicating that left-handedness was often associated with difficult or stressful births.Example: [https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg12717262.800-science-older-mothers-have-more-lefthanded-babies-.html/ Older moms have more lefthanded babies. New Scientist, 21 July 1990] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019035407/http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg12717262.800-science-older-mothers-have-more-lefthanded-babies-.html/ |date=October 19, 2012 }} Research showing that left-handers were much more susceptible to accident-related injuries because the constructed world and most machinery and tools are designed for the safety and convenience of right-handers evoked a great deal of interest and press coverage.Example: [https://www.nytimes.com/1989/08/29/science/a-sinister-bias-new-studies-cite-perils-for-lefties.html/ A Sinister Bias: New Studies Cite Perils for Lefties, ny times Tuesday, August 29, 1989]Example: [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,972749,00.html/ The Perils of Being a Lefty, Time Magazine, April 15, 1991] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090614092037/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,972749,00.html/ |date=June 14, 2009 }} However the work that caused the largest stir and the most controversy was a series of studies in collaboration with Diane F. Halpern which showed that left-handers have shorter life spans, often dying younger because of accidents or problems associated with a compromised immune system (possibly a long-term consequence of birth stress related trauma).Example: [http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-5531361_ITM/ Life for the lefties: from annoying to downright risky, Smithsonian, 1 December 1994] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019195638/http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-5531361_ITM/ |date=October 19, 2012 }} Although originally the source of much controversy, with confirming data coming from a number of other laboratories, these conclusions have become well enough accepted to appear in basic psychological textbooks.Example: Myers, D., Psychology, 8th edition, New York: Worth The discovery of a possible genetic basis of left-handedness"The left brain knows what the right hand is doing", http://www.apa.org/monitor/2009/01/brain.html Monitor on Psychology

Volume 40, No. January 1, 2009 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090426015246/http://www.apa.org/monitor/2009/01/brain.html |date=April 26, 2009 }} suggests that there may be two types of left-handers, natural left-handers and a separate group who arrive at their left-handedness because of birth stress and are more susceptible to immune system related problems. Coren has suggested that in addition to genetics and birth stress other mechanisms might also contribute to the appearance of left-handedness, such as hormonal factors as in the Geschwind–Galaburda hypothesis.{{cite journal|last1=Coren|first1=S|title=Prenatal testosterone exposure, left- handedness, and high school delinquency|journal=Behavioral and Brain Sciences|date=2014|volume=21|issue=3|pages=369–370|doi=10.1017/S0140525X98321226|s2cid=145069746|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/247372913}}

Coren 's research into sleep deprivation suggests that this is contributing to accidents, psychological disturbances, and increased susceptibility to illness.Example: [https://www.nytimes.com/1998/03/31/science/personal-health-facing-up-to-the-realities-of-sleep-deprivation.html/ Facing up to the realities of sleep deprivation, New York times, 31 March, 1998]Example: [https://www.thestar.com/article/112868/ How did we lose control of sleep? Toronto Star, 29 October 2006] This line of reasoning eventually led to the series of studies which demonstrated that simply losing one hour of sleep due to the shift to daylight saving time can cause an increase in traffic accidents and other accident related fatalities on the Monday following the time changeExample: [https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article672994.ece/ The mother of all Mondays, Globe and Mail, 30 March 2009] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091226232445/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article672994.ece |date=December 26, 2009 }}Example: [https://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/600892/ Drooping eyes? Blame it on daylight saving, Toronto Star, 12 March, 2009]

Later in his career, Coren shifted to the study of canine behavior and the relationship that people have with their dogs. This shift away from neuropsychological research also marked a shift in his publishing strategy, away from single study publications in research journals, to publication of his new data as part of material presented in popular book form. Many of his books on dogs do contain previously unpublished empirical data. For example, his book The Intelligence of Dogs{{cite book |last=Coren |first=S. |title=The Intelligence of Dogs |publisher=Free Press |year=2006 |edition=revised}} is based on a survey sent to all of the dog obedience judges in the United States and Canada, and resulted in the ranking of 110 dog breeds by intelligence. This ranking caused a rather large media stir.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/05/books/my-dog-s-smarter-than-your-dog.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss/ |title=My dog's smarter than your dog |newspaper=The New York Times |date=5 June 1994}}{{cite AV media |url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6087502115998869663/ |title=Charlie Rose Show |date=13 April 1994 |medium=video |via=Google Video}}

His book Why We Love the Dogs We Do{{cite book |last=Coren |first=S. |title=Why We Love the Dogs We Do |publisher=Free Press |year=1998}} looks at the personality of people and how the owner's personality predicts their relationship with various dog breeds.{{cite web |last1=Aird |first1=Louise |title=Caninus Sellus : Dogs in Advertising, Jan 2004 |url=https://louiseaird.com/category/animals/ |website=louiseaird.com |publisher=Louise Aird, Blitz Magazine |access-date=11 December 2021}} It is based on a survey of more than 6000 people who took a personality test and reported on their experiences with the various dogs that they have owned. This book proved to be very popular and Coren's personality test is now used by some dog shelters to determine whether prospective owners are suitable for a particular breed of dog.{{cite news |url=http://www.cnn.com/books/reviews/9806/29/dogs.cnn/index.html/ |title=A canine valentine for dog lovers |website=CNN |date=29 June 1998}} Similarly, his book Why does my dog act that way?{{cite book |last=Coren |first=S. |title=Why does my dog act that way? A complete guide to your dog's personality |publisher=Free Press |year=2006}} uses data from approximately a thousand dogs to determine features of the personality of various dog breeds.{{cite news |url=http://www.military.com/entertainment/books/book-reviews/book-review-why-does-my-dog-act-that-way/ |title=Why does my dog act that way? |department=Book review |website=military.com |agency=Detroit Free Press |date=21 February 2008}} However other books that he has written on dog behavior have provided less formal data presentation and in these his creative contribution is based on the organization and interpretation of the research of others, as is the case in How to speak dog.{{cite book |last=Coren |first=S. |title=How to Speak Dog: Mastering the art of dog-human communication |department=Fireside Books |publisher=Simon & Schuster |year=2001}} These books have also been well accepted and have been proven to be very popular.{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/03/26/1111692684762.html/ |title=How to have a meaningful chat with the dog |newspaper=The Sun-Herald |place=Australia |date=27 March 2005}}

{{Scholia|Q5612041}}

Coren's first book outside of professional psychology circles was 1993's The Left-Hander Syndrome: the causes and consequences of left-handedness, which presented data on the significant challenges faced by left-handed people in society.[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE1D91F3BF930A15752C0A964958260 Books of The Times; Sinister Aspects of Left-Handedness], New York Times, January 23, 1992 His research was discussed widely, and has been printed and discussed in a number of professional journals such as Psychiatric Times.[http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/display/article/10168/54471 The Psychiatric Times], March 1, 1998 His next book was Sleep Thieves, the result of his studies into sleep and the lack of it.example: [http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/display/article/10168/54471?pageNumber=1 Sleep Deprivation, Psychosis and Mental Efficiency], Psychiatric Times, Vol. 15 No. 3, March 1, 1998 The book examined how the reduction of sleeping time in modern society has created problems of sleep deprivation for many people.[http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/helthrpt/stories/s122784.htm The Health Report], Radio National, Australia, May 1, 2000[http://archives.cnn.com/2000/CAREER/trends/12/04/napping/index.html Hitting the wall], CNN.com, December 4, 2000

The 1994 publication of The Intelligence of Dogs brought Coren to the wider public eye. A combination of Coren's background in psychology and his love of dogs, the book became an international hit, and has gone through 16 printings to this point.{{cite web|url=http://www.simonsays.com/content/book.cfm?tab=25&pid=513840|title=SimonSays's On Demand Pages on Vimeo|website=www.simonsays.com|access-date=August 9, 2018}}

Since then, Coren has gone on to pen a number of other books on dog intelligence, dog learning and thinking ability, the human canine bond and its implications for people in modern society[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-dogs-think/ "How Dogs Think"], The Early Show, August 20, 2004 that have continued to make him a favorite among dog lovers.{{cite web|url=http://www.stanleycoren.com/library.htm|title=Stanley Coren's Library|website=www.stanleycoren.com|access-date=August 9, 2018}}
