Daniel D. Holt

Daniel D. Holt is Professor of Psychology at James Madison University's College of Health and Behavioral Sciences. A PhD graduate of Washington University, his scholarship bridges experimental psychology and behavioral economics.

Research examines decision-making paradigms through delay discounting models, quantifying how delayed rewards influence choice architecture. Experimental designs compare behavioral patterns across human and non-human subjects to identify universal learning principles.

Teaching includes foundational courses in learning theory and applied behavior analysis, integrating operant conditioning frameworks with economic decision models. His laboratory investigates reward valuation mechanisms underlying addictive behaviors and impulse control disorders.
