| Biography:
|
|
Basic research interests: Experimental analysis of human and nonhuman behavior, especially the developmental analysis of the behavioral and physiological bases of schedule-induced responding. Also includes: addictive behaviors, social status relationships in laboratory animals, and the experimental analysis of covert behavior.
Applied interests: Use of behavior modification to increase independent living skills of persons with severe multiple handicaps. Application of findings in extinction-induced and schedule-induced behavior to the intervention of aggression, tantrums, and similar behaviors in humans. Technical and electronic interventions for persons with handicaps.
Theoretical interests: History and philosophy of radical behaviorism, the analysis of private events, and the comparative analysis of scientific systems.
I am the Secretary/Treasurer of the Behavior Analysis Association of Michigan (BAAM). Additionally, I do some work with computer based control and data collection for behavioral experiments. |
