ABSTRACT
John and Elizabeth Newson were developmental psychologists, whose professional careers covered many areas. They met as undergraduate students at University College London in the late 1940s and married in 1951, on the same day that they received the notification of their degree results. Shortly afterwards they moved to Nottingham where John had been offered an assistant lectureship in the university’s Department of Psychology. Elizabeth worked for a time as a primary school teacher before joining John at the department.
