Certified Behavior Analyst, 2005. 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. The latter includes the application of learning principles to
help make the world a little happier. Representative Publications Stout,
