He received his PhD from Columbia University, where he focused on the methodology of science and empirical studies of child development. Throughout his career, he worked concurrently within the disciplines of medicine and education. He was elected to the Center for Advanced Analytic Studies at Princeton and served as the Educational Consultant to the United States Committee for the United Nations.
Dr. Stern also helped to develop the Code and Rating System of the Motion Picture Association of America and served as its director.
