Kate Gordon Moore (February 18, 1878 – October 4, 1963) was an American psychologist whose work focused on various aspects within cognitive psychology, and is noted for her work with color vision and perception, as well as aesthetics, memory, imagination, emotion, developmental tests for children, and attention span.
Gordon's early work focused on color vision and how this interacted with memory.
Her work shifted mid-career and then she started to research within the realm of education.
Specifically, she published work that addressed women's education with regard to the notion that women must be educated differently from men.
Her focus of research shifted once more later on in life and started to keen in on imagination and how it related to her earlier works of memory and emotion.
