Abstract
Reports that Mark Philip Bryden, PH.D., F.R.S.C., Professor of Psychology at the University of Waterloo, former editor of the Canadian Journal of Psychology (1980-1984), died suddenly of a heart attack in Montreal in August 1996, while attending the International Congress of Psychology. Phil's academic career will be remembered for his tireless efforts to explicate the implications of perceptual and perceptual-motor asymmetries in normal intact individuals for models of cerebral hemispheric functional specialization. What is noteworthy about his participation in this enterprise is that he was never one to eschew complexity nor one to espouse a too facile acceptance of the modal models of the day. Moreover, he had the utmost respect for data and an uncanny knack of devising experiments that could reveal the fragility of theory and of the means available to test it. Phil brought a rare clarity of thought, keen intellect, love of numbers, and honesty to all he did. But among those who knew him well, he will also be remembered for his personal interest in and nurturing of younger scientists. He will be sorely missed by the scientific community, and the many of us fortunate to have known him and to have worked closely with him. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
