Why Is Murray Sidman Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Murray Sidman was an American behavioral scientist, best known for Sidman Avoidance, also called "free-operant avoidance", in which an individual learns to avoid an aversive stimulus by remembering to produce the response without any other stimulus. Sidman's explanation of free-operant avoidance is an alternative to the Miller-Mowrer two-process theory of avoidance.
