Behavior Analysis Faculty & Staff
Behavior Analysis is a natural science that studies the effects of the environment on the behavior of individuals. Its principles are universal. They can be applied with any population, including children with autism, people with developmental disabilities, parents and children, pet owners, college students, healthcare providers, athletes, employees, and CEOs.

Chris Varnon, Ph.D.Assistant Professor Behavior Analysis I'm interested in basic principles of learning and behavior, experimental analysis of behavior, comparative psychology, behavioral ecology, behavioral neuroscience, behavioral pharmacology, computational models of behavior, and digital simulations of behavior. Most of my work is with non-human animals. See CAVarnon.com for more information. |
