Central Assessment Lending Library (CALL)

Bio:

Carl Johnson received his Ph.D. in general-experimental psychology from Michigan State University in 1979. He has been on the faculty at CMU since 1978. His primary teaching and research are in three areas: behavior analysis, behavioral behavioral pediatrics, and organizational behavior management. He is on the board of editors for the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management.

Research Interest:

My research concerns behavior analysis and management in medicine, public and private organizational settings, schools, and home settings. We have a grant from the State of Michigan to initiate and run a lending library of assessment materials for infants and young children with low-incidence disabilities (Central Assessment Lending Library or CALL). I have carried out research on infant and preschool sleep disorders in concert with pediatricians and family physicians. My interest in organizational behavior management includes measurements of behavior, contingencies of reinforcement, pay for performance, feedback systems, and behavior analysis of the service sector.
