Primary areas: learning, decision-making, behavioral neuroscience

I research learning and decision-making processes in human and non-human animals. I focus on processes involved in learning about and representing information about the occurrence of important outcomes (i.e., the relation of a location to a likelihood of food, a lottery ticket to an expectation of money, a video game event to an expectation of points). I aim to determine the way that nonverbal information of outcome occurrence is represented and to understand how the way in which information is obtained affects the use of that information.

Primary areas: development, cognition, social

My research involves ADHD and possible biological markers for the disorder. With colleagues in the Mathematical Sciences at SBC and the Behavioral Medicine at UVA Medical Hospital, we have undertaken a number of externally granted projects focusing on EEG indicators of ADHD in children and adults. I am also interested in the development or lack of development of voice in college-aged women.

Primary areas: applied bevior analysis, psychophysiology

My first professional position was in the field of rehabilitation where I worked with spinal cord and brain injury programs that sought both to bring new research findings into clinical practice and to influence directions of research based on clinical needs. I have always been drawn to the application of basic psychological principles, formal studies of behavior therapy, and psychophysiology.
