Alexander Bain

Scottish philosopher and psychologist who first used the term "trial and error." A professor of logic at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, from 1860 until 1880, Bain advanced the study of psychology as a science by asserting the link between mental association and physiological processes. Bain authored the first psychology textbooks written in English, The Senses and the Intellect (1859) and The Emotions and the Will(1859), and founded the first psychological journal, Mind (1876).
