Jack Michael’s influence on the field of behavior analysis was profound. His refinement and extension of several of our basic concepts and principles (e.g., establishing operations, positive and negative reinforcement, automatic reinforcement, verbal behavior) has greatly advanced our understanding of human behavior. However, Jack’s legacy may be most obvious in the numerous students he taught over the years, many of whom have had distinguished careers as researchers, practitioners, and teachers in their own right. Each has made significant contributions to behavior analysis, thus extending Jack’s legacy even further. Six of Jack’s students from his early days of teaching will offer comments and insights regarding Jack. Following their remarks, audience members will be allowed to provide very brief remarks about Jack. |
