Research interests

Neuringer is a social scientist in the field of the experimental analysis of behavior, as pioneered by B.F. Skinner.Шаблон:Citation needed His areas of research include human volition studies, the generation of randomness in organisms, self-experimentation, and many other areas.Шаблон:Citation needed

Randomness and behavior

Neuringer's work focused on the production of "pure randomness" in human and other organismic behavior, something that was widely considered impossible.Шаблон:Citation needed Matching and reinforcing human and animal responses to a random number generator he was able to have humans and other organisms behave "randomly".Шаблон:Citation needed

Melioration and self-experimentation

Neuringer has suggested that behavior analysis as a field might benefit from using experimental designs that explicitly and directly attempted to meliorate the condition of an experimental subject. He envisaged placing practical everyday goals as the objective of experiments and, especially, self-experiments.Шаблон:Citation needed
