ABSTRACT

Gordon H. Bower has had a major influence on psychology, particularly on his many students, including me (PhD, 1982). I am honored to write a chapter discussing that influence and my current work. To best present the information, the chapter is divided into two sections. The first discusses some of Gordon’s work that most affected me, along with some evidence of that impact. The second section jumps ahead several (well, more than several) years and outlines part of my current work in which some influence is still obvious.
