F. Robert Treichler

Research Interests:

Issues of interest include animal models of learning and memory as instruments for assessing neurological function. Primary emphasis is on nonhuman primate tests of multiple problem integration as an indicant of cognitive behavior. Also interested in the history of psychology.
