Examine the behavioral mechanisms of drug tolerance and addiction by measuring changes in feeding behavior as a function of chronic exposure to amphetamine. Conduct the daily experimental protocol. Program experimental operations using MED-PC. Write data analysis programs in BASIC. Maintain the data library. Review the behavioral-tolerance literature. Plan and discuss research protocols. Since coming to Florida Atlantic University I have begun to apply the basics of Fourier analysis and Nonlinear Dynamics to our data sets. Adjunct Professor, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Psychology, Boca Raton, Florida. Fall 1998-Present. Lecturing included two sections of General Psychology. Adjunct Lecturer, Queens College of the City University of New York, Department of Psychology, Flushing, New York. 1/93-7/98. Lecture courses included Principles of Drug Action, 2 sections; and Statistical Methods, 3 sections.

Laboratory Assistant, Medical College of Pennsylvania at the Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, Department of Pharmacology, Division of Neuropsychopharmacology, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 12/89-8/91. Conducted the daily experimental protocol that examined the serotonergic mechanisms of feeding behavior. Synthesized and delivered drugs to the subjects. Randomized groups, injected rat and rabbit subjects; collected and analyzed videotaped data on subject behavior. Statistically analyzed data. Wrote data analysis programs in BASIC. Laboratory notebooks were maintained with all the analyzed data organized for easy access. Surgical manipulations included the gastric cannula implant, lesioning the first ventricle of the rat brain by using intracranial injections of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine, vagotomies and portal vein catheterizations. M. A. Level Staff Psychologist, Elwyn Incorporated, Elwyn, Pennsylvania. 2/89-12/89. Supervised twelve residential living staff in the implementation of behavioral treatment programs for 72 clients at an ICF/MR institution. Evaluated environmental conditions surrounding severe maladaptive behavior. Devised behavior analytic treatment plans for that behavior and maintained weekly/monthly records of each clients progress. Determined the restrictive capacity of a clients behavior program and maintained 90-day reviews of those treatments with the Behavior Management Committee. Performed psychological evaluations of clients using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales in conjunction with an appropriate IQ test (e.g. Leiter, Slosson, WAIS-R). Completed weekly data audits on each clients program data sheets. Engaged in personal and vocational counseling with clients. Responsible for intake and discharge evaluations of clients.
