Jack Michael dedicated his life to teaching behavior analysis. He was passionate about Skinner's works and his enthusiasm was contagious. Jack's primary goal for his students was that they be able to analyze behavior like Skinner analyzed behavior, but with a little bit of Jack Michael sprinkled in here and there. Jack is probably best known to behavior analysts for his conceptual contributions to our field (e.g., his work on motivation), but his contributions to the treatment of autism are perhaps his most socially significant achievement. In our tribute to Jack, we will describe how he advanced the treatment of autism not only through his conceptual work and his teaching, but through his role in the development of applied behavior analysis, and in the application of Skinner's (1957) analysis of verbal behavior to language assessment and intervention for children and adults with language delays.
杰克·迈克尔一生致力于行为分析教学。他对斯金纳的著作充满热情，其热情极富感染力。杰克对学生的主要目标是，他们能够像斯金纳分析行为那样分析行为，但同时融入一些杰克·迈克尔的独特见解。行为分析师们可能最了解杰克在概念方面对我们这个领域的贡献（例如，他在动机方面的工作），但他对自闭症治疗的贡献或许是他最具社会意义的成就。在我们对杰克的致敬中，我们将描述他不仅如何通过概念性工作和教学推进了自闭症治疗，还通过他在应用行为分析发展过程中的角色，以及将斯金纳（1957年）对言语行为的分析应用于语言发育迟缓儿童和成人的语言评估与干预中，来推进自闭症治疗。
