John H. Flavell (1928–2025).

Memorializes John H. Flavell (1928-2025). Widely credited for bringing Piaget's theory to the English-speaking world, John also coined the terms "metacognition" and "metamemory" and was a senior thought leader as theory of mind research exploded in the 1990s. John began teaching child development at the University of Rochester (1956), moved to the University of Minnesota in 1965, and finally joined Stanford University (1976) where, in 1992, he became Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Psychology. He won the American Psychological Association's Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award (1984), G. Stanley Hall Award (1986), and Mentor Award in Developmental Psychology (2002)-a testament to the fact that teaching graduate students was his favorite part of the job.
