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] and has influenced "incentive" theories of motivation and addiction.[8] His recent work includes theories of actions and habits,[7][9][10] drug addiction,[11] and hedonic pleasure.[12] His most highly cited paper is a 1998 Nature collaboration with Cambridge colleague Nicky Clayton on episodic-like memory in scrub jays.[13][14] Other notable collaborators include Trevor Robbins and Barry Everitt (on mechanisms of addiction),[11] Bernard Balleine (on motivation and hedonic pleasure),[12][15] John M. Pearce (with whom Dickinson worked on animal learning at both Sussex and Cambridge),[16]) and Wolfram Schultz (with whom Dickinson has worked on the neuronal mechanisms of rewards, punishments, and other stimuli).[17]

Honours and awards

In 2001, Dickinson was elected the Sir Frederic Bartlett lecturer by the Experimental Psychology Society, an annual award recognizing "distinction in experimental psychology... over an extended period",[18] and delivered the 28th Bartlett Memorial Lecture on "Causal Learning" at Cambridge in July 2000.[19][20] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2003.[3]
