2015 Oct 28

Four psychology students from Eastern Connecticut State University presented research at the annual Berkshire Association for Behavior Analysis and Therapy (BABAT) conference this past October in Amherst, MA.

Among the students was Alexis Apel '16 of Methuen, who delivered a paper presentation titled "Prison as punishment: A behavior-analytic evaluation of incarceration." Apel majors in Social Work and Psychology.

"These students all did excellent work, and I am very proud of them," said Psychology Professor James Diller, research mentor. "BABAT is not a conference where undergraduates tend to present, and they represented Eastern quite well. Working with these talented students has been a joy, and I'm excited to see where they go in their professional lives."
