Presents an obituary of Leon J. Kamin (1927-2017), former chair of the Psychology Department at Northeastern University. Over the course of his career, Kamin demonstrated a rare combination of skills as a researcher, scholar, and administrator. Early in his career, Kamin developed an influential line of research on conditioning. In fact, a conditioning effect, the Kamin (blocking) effect, is named after him. Later in his career, he became interested in the heritability of intelligence, leading to his debunking of Cyril Burt's famous twin studies and the publication of his extremely influential book (1974). Kamin also enjoyed great success as an administrator, serving as chair in each of the departments in which he worked. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
本文呈现了利昂·J·卡明（1927 - 2017）的讣告，他曾是东北大学心理学系系主任。在其职业生涯中，卡明展现出了作为研究者、学者和管理者的罕见技能组合。在职业生涯早期，卡明开展了关于条件作用的具有影响力的研究路线。事实上，一种条件作用效应，即卡明（阻断）效应，就是以他的名字命名的。在职业生涯后期，他对智力的遗传性产生兴趣，这促使他揭穿了西里尔·伯特著名的双胞胎研究，并出版了极具影响力的著作（1974年）。卡明作为管理者也取得了巨大成功，他在所工作的每个系都担任过系主任。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2018美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
