Carrer: Murray Sidman made significant contributions to the field of behavioral pharmacology through his groundbreaking research on the behavioral effects of drugs. His work focused on understanding how drugs can influence behavior and the underlying mechanisms involved. Sidman's research helped shed light on the behavioral principles that govern drug effects and addiction. McIlvane, W. J., Iversen, I. H., Lattal, K. A., Lionello‐DeNolf, K. M., &amp; Petursdottir, A.

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 115(1), 4–12. https://doi.org/10.1002/jeab.666 Influence: Another one of Sidman's most notable contributions is the development of the "matching law," which describes how organisms allocate their behavior between different response options based on the relative rates of reinforcement. This concept has had a profound impact on our understanding of choice behavior and has been widely applied in various fields, including animal behavior, clinical psychology, and behavioral economics.
