  • 1995 - Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA)

Overview

Lanny Fields is affiliated with the City University of New York in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on psychology, with a significant emphasis on developmental and educational psychology. Additional areas of study include statistics and probability, cognitive neuroscience, food science, and small animals.

Their work broadly covers topics related to behavioral and psychological studies, cognitive and developmental aspects of mathematical skills, autism spectrum disorder research, sensory analysis and statistical methods, child and animal learning development, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, and animal behavior and welfare studies.

The main publication venues for Fields' research include The Psychological Record and the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior. These journals have featured numerous articles authored or co-authored by Fields, contributing to both theoretical and experimental work in behavioral sciences.

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Fields include Erik Arntzen, Erica Doran, John J. Foxe, Anders Dechsling, and James Belanich. These collaborations span multiple studies and contribute to various topics within behavioral psychology.

Among the recent papers authored by Lanny Fields are:

  • "Yield as an Essential Measure of Equivalence Class Formation, Other Measures, and New Determinants" (2020, The Psychological Record)
  • "Equivalence class formation when responding is separated from sample and comparison stimuli: Working memory, priming, and sorting" (2020, Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior)
  • "Training Modality and Equivalence Class Formation under the Simultaneous Protocol: A Test of Stimulus Control Topography Coherence Theory" (2020, The Psychological Record)
  • "Under-explored effects of structure on equivalence class formation: A commentary" (2023, The Psychological Record)

Fields has also contributed to research on arbitrary stimulus classes and function-transfer, as indicated by related collaborative work.

In recognition of professional achievements, Fields was honored as a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1995.
