Robert Glaser, who lived from January 18, 1921 to February 4, 2012, was an American educational psychologist who made significant contributions to theories of learning and instruction. His research focused on the nature of aptitudes and individual differences, the interaction of knowledge and skill in expertise, the roles of testing and technology in education, and training adapted to individual differences. He developed the idea of individually prescribed instruction, made major contributions to the theory of adaptive education, and originally coined the terms criterion-referenced and norm-referenced. He received the E. L. Thorndike Award in 1981.
