Mike J. Harman serves as Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Northern Iowa within the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences, specializing in behavior analysis with applications to developmental disorders and decision-making processes.
His academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Psychology from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (2018)
- M.S. in Psychology from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (2015)
- B.S. in Psychology from University of Wisconsin-Superior (2013)
Dr. Harman's research program investigates three interconnected domains: skill acquisition interventions for developmental disorders (particularly autism), covert verbal behavior in complex repertoire development, and parameters influencing delay discounting and impulsive choices. His work bridges experimental analysis with clinical applications, emphasizing methodological rigor in behavior analytic procedures.
His 14 recent publications (2018-2024) reveal consistent focus on treatment integrity measurement, verbal behavior mechanisms, and decision-making paradigms across human and animal subjects. The corpus demonstrates strong methodological innovation in single-case designs while addressing clinically relevant questions in autism intervention and behavioral economics.
Dr. Harman actively mentors students whose work regularly appears at national conferences and in top behavior analysis journals. He serves on the editorial board of The Analysis of Verbal Behavior and reviews for Behavior Modification, Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, and other leading publications.
He maintains an active research laboratory focused on experimental analysis of behavior, where students conduct hands-on investigations of verbal behavior, delay discounting, and skill acquisition protocols.
