| Abstract: | On January 15, 1987, Graham Valentine Goddard, aged 48, drowned in the Deception River on a hiking trip in the Arthur Pass area of New Zealand's South Island. As a measure of his humanity, Graham Goddard leaves behind a very large number of good friends, both professional and private. He will be best remembered by the academic and science communities as the father of "kindling," in relation to long-term potentiation and its physiological analogy to the memory process, but will be remembered by his friends as an ever thoughtful man with boundless curiosity and integrity, a good father and husband, and a dear friend. He is sincerely missed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
