He authored or coauthored over 40 scholarly papers published in professional journals and served on the boards of numerous national and regional professional organizations. He was a founding member of the Psychonomic Society and was elected a fellow of five divisions of the American Psychology Society and of the Association for the Study of Animal Behavior.
