She is working on incentive motivation and behavior.  She completed her master's degree with a fine write up on variety effects on operant behavior using the rat.  For her dissertation, we are hoping to complete a thorough investigation of contrafreeloading..another important motivational process observed in diverse species.  Plans include neurobiological investigation.
