Steven Pinker, a world-class linguist and cognitive psychologist, obtained a doctorate in experimental psychology from Harvard University in 1976. Pinker was once the director of the Center for Cognitive neuroscience of MIT and devoted himself to the study of children's language acquisition. The popular science magazine Scientific American selected his book The Language Instinct as one of the 100 best science books of the 20th century.
