Summary
Matthew and his students conduct research across the basic, applied, and philosophical/conceptual domains of w88 slot science. Research conducted in his laboratory is intentionally eclectic and based upon the assumption that students benefit from exposure to/participation in a diverse intellectual environment. Students are encouraged to develop and pursue their own research interests, but the work of the laboratory is held together by a group concern with the critical and continuous evaluation of philosophical and conceptual issues within w88 slot science.
Matthew is the principal investigator for the Animal w88 slot Laboratory (ABL). The purpose of the ABL is to conduct basic research on learning, memory, and the contextual control of w88 slot with mice. The ABL also conducts interdisciplinary research with researchers outside of w88 slot science on mouse models of human conditions. Recent research topics have included motivational state-dependent learning, interactions between the effects of motivating operations, habituation/dishabituation to reinforcers, social reinforcement in mice, and how learning processes related to autism spectrum disorder in offspring are affected by parental early life exposure to anesthetic agents used in pediatric surgery.
Matthew is also the Clinical Director of Behavioral Education and Consulting Services (BECS). The goal of BECS is to support students and staff in Washoe County School District (WCSD) with evidence-based behavioral consultation services. BECS collaborates with WCSD personnel to develop functional behavioral assessments and function-based interventions for individual students, conduct staff and parent trainings, and develop/monitor school-wide w88 slot management strategies. Graduate and undergraduate students working in BECS receive training in providing school-based consultative services.
