Academic Interests:

I am fascinated by learning in general. I have formally investigated how animals and people behave when they are subjected to multiple predictive cues for important events, how animals react to unexpected reward loss, and how people react to predictive cues when the cues change their meaning. I prevent myself from climbing too far up the ivory tower through applied behavior analysis work with children in regular and special education and adults with mental retardation. Applied behavior analysis is the application of learning principles to help make the world a little happier.
