Edmund J. Fantino
Edmund Fantino is professor of psychology at the University of California, San Diego. He published his first paper in JEAB in 1967, and now has a total of 74 papers in that journal. His research has been focused on both animal and human choice and decision-making, and his empirical and theoretical contributions have been considerable. He has published many analyses of the base-rate error, and his theory of choice (the delay-reduction hypothesis) was published in 1971 and is still the subject of extensive research. He is the author, with Cheryl A. Logan, of The Experimental Analysis of Behavior: A Biological Perspective, which was extensively used as a teaching text. Many of his students have become important contributors to our science.
