Andrew Delamater's Web site
Andrew Delamater came to Brooklyn College as an assistant professor of psychology in 1994. He became associate professor in 2000 and full professor in 2008, and was made a Brooklyn College Tow Professor in 2014. Prior to that, he was visiting assistant professor at Indiana University, Bloomington (1990-91), and postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania (1991-94). Since 2007, he has been fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, as well as the Eastern Psychological Association, and he has served as associate editor, Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology; consulting editor, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes; Psychonomic, Bulletin, and Review and Learning & Behavior; and president of the Eastern Psychological Association (2012) and Pavlovian Society (2016). He is currently the editor (2019 - 2025) for the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning & Cognition.
Education:
Ph.D., Dalhousie University - 1990 (Experimental Psychology)
M.Sc., Dalhousie University - 1984 (Experimental Psychology)
B.A., American University - 1982 (Psychology)
Areas of Expertise:
Delamater's research interests are directed toward the study of basic learning processes, especially Pavlovian and instrumental learning with laboratory animals. His focus is on understanding, both at the psychological and neural systems levels, how organisms represent the causal structure of their environment with special interests in the extinction of acquired behaviors, in the mechanisms involved in reward processing and interval timing, and in computational models of associative learning.
