William N. Schoenfeld

	William N. Schoenfeld William N. Schoenfeld (December 6, 1915 – August 3, 1996) was an American psychologist and author. Born in New York City, he conducted original research in experimental psychology, and advocated behaviorism, which seeks to understand behavior as a function of environmental histories of experiencing consequences. Dr. Schoenfeld's own original contributions in a long research career were influenced by those of B.F. Skinner and Ivan Pavlov. In a carefully devised set of experiments in 1953 he led a team of Columbia University psychologists in discovering that anxiety caused the human heart rate to slow rather than quicken under certain timing of stimuli. He was the co-author with Fred S. Keller, a Columbia colleague, of ''Principles of Psychology'', an influential college text published in 1950 that emphasized scientific methods in the study of psychology. Students first used it in courses at Columbia College, where the two professors offered two hours of lecture and, for the fir ...

	Murray Sidman Murray Sidman (April 29, 1923 – May 18, 2019) was a 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. Methodology Methodologically, a "Sidman avoidance procedure" is an experiment in which the subject is periodically presented with an aversive stimulus, such as the introduction of carbon dioxide or an electric shock, unless they produce a particular response, such as pulling a plunger, which delays the stimulus by a certain amount of time. His work on methodology for behavioural psychologists is the standard textbook in its field. Career Sidman took his PhD at Columbia in psychology from Columbia University 1952 under the advisorship of William N. Schoenfeld. He has worked at many r ...
