Introduction to the special section in honor of Dr. Kennon Andy Lattal

Abstract

The present special section of the Mexican Journal of Behavior Analysis (RMAC, by its acronym in Spanish) is dedicated to the achievements of Dr. Kennon Andy Lattal in the Experimental Analysis of Behavior. Mario Serrano, the current editor of RMAC, decided to honor Dr. Lattal’s distinguished career, his extensive collaboration with our journal and his contributions to behavior analysis (BA) in Mexico. Mario asked the first author of this paper to serve as guest editor of this special section given his close friendship with Dr. Lattal (Andy as called by his friends). All the articles included in this issue are written by behavior analysts who have had close contact with him or by former students from Mexico or from other countries. The topics of the articles are related to at least one of Dr. Lattal’s many research interests.
