Mark Lepper, Professor of Psychology, Stanford University
Professor Lepper is my "academic grandfather" of sorts, as he served as Teresa Amabile's PhD advisor/mentor. Dr. Lepper is the co-author of a 1973 paper entitled "Undermining children's intrinsic interest with extrinsic reward: A test of the overjustification hypothesis" the research piece that caught my attention when I was teaching at the elementary level in Denver and propelled me back to school.

Edward Deci, Professor of Psychology, University of Rochester
Professor Deci's work on human motivation, and in particular his Self-Determination Theory, has greatly influenced my own research program.

Dean Keith Simonton, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, Davis
Dr. Simonton's meticulous "systems approach" to the study of creativity, and in particular his work on cultural factors underlying eminence, giftedness and talent, has also been especially influential in shaping my thinking.
