Jean Matter Mandler (1929 to 2025) was an American psychologist who was a Distinguished Research Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego, and a founding member of its cognitive science department in 1986. She took her doctorate at Harvard in 1956. Her early work concerned animal learning, and in the 1960s she turned to textual analysis, including a widely used story grammar. From the 1970s she studied early conceptual development in infants, which led to her influential book The Foundations of Mind (2004). She won the American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award in 2007.
