E.J.（约翰）卡帕尔迪（John）Capaldi（1928-2020）在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校和普渡大学的长期职业生涯中为实验心理学做出了许多贡献。他是动物学习和认知领域的先驱，以其部分强化消退效应的序贯理论而闻名。他在这一领域以及记忆和计数现象方面的研究大部分是通过在各种试验结果序列（例如奖励、非奖励、奖励大小的变化）下在直巷迷宫中奔跑的老鼠进行的。约翰的其他兴趣包括应用于巴甫洛夫条件作用的顺序理论、进化论和科学心理学。更一般地说，约翰是一位彻头彻尾的科学家，为认识他的人树立了榜样。他的职业生涯以科学价值观和基于经验数据的严格批判性思维为中心，加上对心理学中不同新思想的好奇心和开放态度。
E. J. (John) Capaldi (1928–2020) made numerous contributions to experimental psychology in his long career at the University of Texas at Austin and Purdue University. He was a pioneer in the area of animal learning and cognition, known for his sequential theory of partial reinforcement extinction effects. His research in this area and in memory and counting phenomena was conducted for the most part with rats running in straight alley mazes under various sequences of trial outcomes (e.g., reward, nonreward, variations in reward size). John's other interests included the sequential theory applied to Pavlovian conditioning, evolutionary theory, and psychology of science. More generally, John was a scientist to the core who served as a role model to those who knew him. His career centered on the values of science and rigorous critical thinking based in empirical data, coupled with a curiosity and openness to different and new ideas in psychology.
