Luis Cordón

Luis Cordón is a Professor in the Department of Psychological Science at Eastern Connecticut State University, maintaining an active academic role with office hours scheduled for Spring 2025 in Webb Hall, Room 135. His contact details include phone 860-465-5289 and email cordonl@easternct.edu, reflecting ongoing institutional affiliation and scholarly engagement.

His academic foundation comprises a B.S. in Psychology from Louisiana State University, followed by M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Developmental Psychology from the University of Notre Dame. This educational trajectory underpins his specialized expertise in historical and critical analyses within psychological science.

Dr. Cordón’s research focuses on the history of psychological science and philosophy, with concentrated investigations into 18th-century scientific developments and Sigmund Freud’s intellectual legacy. He critically examines pseudoscientific domains like parapsychology while advancing critical thinking frameworks and methodological comparisons between static and dynamic testing approaches for children’s cognitive abilities. His scholarship consistently bridges historical context with contemporary epistemological scrutiny.

Publication trends from 2005–2018 reveal cohesive thematic development across encyclopedic contributions. Key works address evolutionary psychology’s historical roots (Erasmus Darwin, early evolutionary perspectives), Freud’s biographical and intellectual context, and critical evaluations of popular psychology and parapsychology. These outputs demonstrate rigorous documentation of psychological science’s boundaries and historical evolution, prioritizing scholarly reference quality over experimental research.

No graduate students, research grants, laboratory facilities, or scientific awards are documented in available sources, though his reference works indicate sustained scholarly productivity through university press publications.
