We pay tribute to Rachlin's work stating that researching and writing for posterity is an act of self-control and altruism. We show how Rachlin's work influenced a series of seminars at the University of São Paulo (Brazil) based on his book from 1989, Judgment, Decision, and Choice. This influence is illustrated through two empirical exercises conducted during our seminars, where students were actively involved in data collection and analysis. The first exercise is about judgment of randomness involving coin tossing. The second is a replication of a procedure by Jones and Rachlin (2006) about social discounting of monetary quantities. We use these empirical examples to highlight some of Rachlin's major contributions to the science of behavior and their implications to our seminars and to ourselves as researchers.
我们赞扬 Rachlin 的工作，指出为后人研究和写作是一种自我控制和利他主义的行为。我们展示了 Rachlin 的工作如何通过他 1989 年的著作《判断、决策和选择》影响了一系列在巴西圣保罗大学举行的研讨会。这种影响通过我们研讨会中的两个实证练习得到了说明，学生在这些练习中积极参与了数据收集和分析。第一个练习是关于掷硬币的随机性判断。第二个是对 Jones 和 Rachlin（2006）关于货币数量的社会折扣的一个程序的复制。我们使用这些实证例子来突出 Rachlin 对行为科学的一些主要贡献，以及这些贡献对我们的研讨会以及我们作为研究人员的影响。
