Catherine defends her Master's thesis!
Catherine Williams successfully defended her Master’s thesis, which addressed the extent to which academic responses resurge when previously learned strategies are placed on extinction. Catherine is currently conducting a follow-up study to her thesis, which was funded by the Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis, and hopes to publish the studies as a two-experiment paper in the coming year.
