Biography
I began my career at South Dakota State University in January 1995. At that time, I began studying the effects of drugs on schedule-controlled behaviors in rats. For 15 years I conducted drug research and trained students in the lab. Currently, I am conducting research on human behavior with respect to the principles of learning. My courses include the biologically-based psychology courses in Domain 1 of our curriculum.Education
