Sidney W. and Janet R. Bijou Fellowship Recipients
2005: Claire St. Peter, University of Florida
Claire St. Peter has been interested in behavior analysis since taking undergraduate coursework with Hank Pennypacker. She began her graduate studies in behavior analysis at the University of Florida in 2001, under the supervision of Timothy Vollmer. Claire’s research interests center around the development and implementation of interventions for children who exhibit problem behavior or who have fallen behind academically. Claire is specifically interested in the effects of reinforcement history on current responding, the effects of treatment integrity failures on common behavioral treatments, and the use of laboratory settings to inform applied research. During her graduate school career, Claire has conducted research using both laboratory and school settings. In 2002, she developed a human operant laboratory to study the effects of treatment integrity failures on behavioral treatments such as DRO and DRA, and is currently extending the findings of that research into applied settings. She is also currently studying the effects of reinforcement history and development on behavioral interventions. Claire will seek an academic position following her graduation. Ultimately, she would like to contribute to the field of behavior analysis through both research and teaching. She would like to continue her line of programmatic research focusing on treatment integrity and behavioral history, including the influence of developmental (historical) factors on children’s current responding.
