MICHAEL DOMJAN is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas, where he has been teaching courses in conditioning and learning since 1973. He is internationally recognized for his functional approach to Pavlovian conditioning. His research was recognized by a MERIT award by the National Institutes of Health and he served as President of the Pavlovian Society of North America. His book, The principles of learning and behavior, is now in its 7th edition. Before becoming an experimental psychologist, Domjan studied at the Juilliard School of Music, where he acquired a Tertis viola. After 35-year hiatus, Domjan has gone back to playing the viola. In the Tertis/Pavlov project he explores connections between music and psychology from his unique personal and academic perspective.
