Associate Professor

Psychology, Applied Behavior Analysis

Dr. Tiger is originally from South Florida. He completed his bachelor鈥檚 degree at the University of Florida, his Master鈥檚 and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Kansas, and his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He was a professor of psychology at Louisiana State University and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee before joining Marquette in 2018. He currently serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, and he received the 2012 BF Skinner New Researcher Award from Division 25 of the American Psychological Association.

Through his travels across the country, he was fortunate enough to have his supportive wife Shannon (her family hails from Kiel, Wisconsin), and three daughters; Brenna, Maren, and Gracen. Together they enjoy tubing around Green Lake, cooking smores over a bonfire, cheering for the Packers, and rapping the lyrics to Hamilton.

Research Lab: The Tiger Lab

Education

Ph.D. University of Kansas, 2006

Postdoctoral Fellowship, University of Nebraska Medical Center, 2007

Courses Taught

Dr. Tiger teaches courses in our behavior analysis program including Single Subject Research Methods, Concepts and Principles of Behavior, Functional Assessment and Treatment, and Translational Foundations of Applied Research.

Research Interests

My research is focused on developing and refining behavioral interventions that are efficient, result in robust behavioral change, generalize across environments, and are preferred by the clients who experience them and the caregivers who implement them. Our work spans the basic to applied curriculum as we seek to understand behavior in the lab as well as to solve socially important problems in the real world. My students are encouraged and supported in developing their own research interests within this broad framework.
