> player in a rock group, Jamie received his B.A. from Queen’s University
> (1979) and Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo (1985). His Ph.D. work on
> arithmetic (Campbell, 1987) set a standard for comprehensive and detailed
> experimentation in the emerging field of numerical cognition. Subsequently,
> he completed a postdoc at Carnegie Mellon University, followed by an
> appointment at the University of Western Ontario. In 1990, Jamie moved to
> the University of Saskatchewan where he remained until his retirement in
> 2021. Jamie published many empirical papers that combined methodological
> rigour with a concern for conceptual replication. He also made important
> theoretical contributions. For example, his seminal work on the
> architectures of numerical cognition (Campbell, 1994) greatly influenced
> theorizing in the field. The encoding-complex view of numerical cognition
> (Campbell & Clark, 1988; Campbell & Epp, 2004), the network-interference
> theory of arithmetic (Campbell, 1995), research on cognitive arithmetic
> across cultures (Campbell & Xue, 2001), and work on retrieval-induced
> forgetting in arithmetic (e.g., Campbell & Thompson, 2012) will continue to
> influence research into the future. Most recently, his work was focussed on
> procedural versus retrieval solutions for arithmetic problems (Campbell et
> al., 2021; Chen & Campbell, 2019). Jamie was a gifted teacher, mentor, and
> colleague. He was unfailingly generous with his time. He regularly attended
> and presented at conferences, especially Psychonomics, and the Canadian
> Society for Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Science (CSBBCS). The
> mathematical cognition community broadly, and especially those of us within
> Canada, will greatly miss his insightful contributions, dry humour, and
> warm presence. He is survived by his life-partner, Professor Valerie
> Thompson.
