Ph.D. [Binghamton (SUNY)], M.S. [Binghamton (SUNY)], B.A. (Texas Lutheran)

My expertise is in associative learning, and my research interests are in experimental psychopathology and the application of classical and instrumental conditioning to clinical research questions, such as the treatment of phobias through exposure therapy. I am also interested in applying associative learning and memory research to educational questions, such as how to improve encoding and retrieval of information during an exam.
