Francis Mechner (born 1931) is an American research psychologist best known for having developed and introduced (in 1959) a formal symbolic language[1][2][3] for the codification and notation of behavioral contingencies. He has published articles about the language's applications in economics, finance, education, environment, business management, biology, clinical practice, and law.[4][5][6][7] Mechner is also known for a variety of contributions to instructional technology and basic research in the field of learning.[8][9][10]
