Anthony Dickinson, FRS (born 17 February 1944)[1] is a British psychologist, currently Emeritus Professor of Comparative Psychology in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge.[2] He is the author of the highly cited monograph Contemporary Animal Learning Theory and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2003 for "internationally recognised contributions to our understanding of learning, memory, motivation and planning".[3]

Academic career

Dickinson graduated in psychology from the University of Manchester in 1967[4] and earned a PhD at the University of Sussex in 1971,[4][5] continuing his academic career there as a postdoctoral assistant to Nicholas Mackintosh.[6] He moved to the Department of Experimental Psychology at Cambridge in 1977, where he lectured in associative learning.[6] He became professor in 1999 and has been emeritus professor and a fellow of Hughes Hall since his retirement in 2011.[1]

Research

Dickinson's research focuses on learning, memory, motivation, and future planning in both humans and other animals.[2][3][7] His recent work includes a theory of actions and habits.[7][8][9] His most highly cited paper is a 1998 Nature collaboration with Cambridge colleague Nicky Clayton on episodic-like memory in scrub jays.[10][11] Other notable collaborators include John M. Pearce, with whom Dickinson worked on animal learning at both Sussex and Cambridge,[12] and Wolfram Schultz, with whom Dickinson has worked on the neuronal mechanisms of rewards, punishments, and other stimuli.[13]
