Bio:
Mark Reilly received his B.S. from the University of Florida in 1989, his M.S. from the University of North Texas in 1993 and his Ph.D. from West Virginia University in 1996. He held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Michigan and at Wayne State University from 1996 to 1999. He was an Assistant Professor of Research at Arizona State University from 1999 to 2003. He has been at Central Michigan University since 2003.
Research Interest:
Dr. Reilly's research interests involve the experimental analysis of human and nonhuman behavior, operant/respondent conditioning, behavioral pharmacology and substance abuse. His research interests are eclectic but strive to elucidate basic principles of behavior. He has conducted research on schedules of reinforcement, behavioral variability, drug discrimination, drug tolerance and conditioned reinforcement. His current research focuses on three areas; the motivational properties of response effort or work, the contributions of classical and operant conditioning to impulsivity, and the environmental factors that establish alcohol as a reinforcer. Mathematical modeling of the behavior and its controlling variables is inherent to his research program.
