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 this journal. His research has been focused on both animal and human choice and decision-making, and his empirical and theoretical contributions here have been very 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 today. He is the author, with Logan, of The experimental analysis of behavior: A biological perspective. San Francisco, 1979, which was extensively used as a teaching text. Many of his students have become important contributors to our science.
