John T. Wixted is a distinguished professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, San Diego. He earned his PhD in clinical psychology from Emory University in 1987. Although he is clinically trained, his research has always been concerned with understanding the basic mechanisms of human memory, which he investigates from a variety of different perspectives. In recent years, his work has focused on signal-detection analyses of recognition memory, the neuro-science of memory and amnesia, and eyewitness identification. Professionally, he has served as editor in chief of Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, and he recently completed a term as an associate editor of Psychological Review. He is the current editor of the upcoming five-volume 4th edition of the venerable Stevens’ Handbook, now titled Stevens’ Handbook of Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience. In recognition of his achieve-ments, he has received numerous teaching awards over the years, and in 2011, he was the recipient of a prestigious award from the Society of Experimental Psychologists for distinction in contemporary research, the Howard Crosby Warren Medal.
