She is currently a research professor in CASE (Center for Advanced Study in Education) of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York[1] She is also a member of the Graduate Center's Behavior Analysis Training Area in the Psychology Ph.D. Program.[2] From 2008 to 2014, she was the Executive Vice Chancellor and University Provost of City University of New York, the CUNY system's Chief Academic Officer.[3][4] She also served as provost and a professor at New York Institute of Technology.[5]

Education

[edit]

Alexandra W. Logue attended Harvard University, receiving her A.B. in Psychology Magna Cum Laude in 1974, and her Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology in 1978.[1] As a senior in college and in graduate school she interacted extensively with B. F. Skinner, as well as with other members of the Harvard University behavior analysis faculty.[6] Her dissertation was entitled "Taste Aversion and the Generality of the Laws of Learning", a version of which was subsequently published in Psychological Bulletin.[7]

Early academic life

[edit]

In 1978, Logue became a faculty member in the Psychology Department of Stony Brook University, rising from the rank of Assistant Professor to Professor.[1] During this period she taught experimental psychology and statistics, and conducted extensive research and published on mathematical models of choice behavior (self-control and impulsiveness),[8] food preferences and aversions,[9] and the history of behaviorism.[10][11] In 1986 she published the first edition of her book The Psychology of Eating and Drinking.[12] The publication of this book and its subsequent editions, as well as her being a supertaster, have been widely covered in The New York Times and other media.[13][14][15][16] While a faculty member, she published another book, entitled Self-Control: Waiting Until Tomorrow for What You Want Today, in 1995,[17] as well as over a hundred articles and chapters.[1] She was named a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the Association for Psychological Science, the Psychonomic Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[1] Her research was funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Mental Health, the McDonnell Foundation[18] and she was given the American Psychological Association's Hake Award for excellence in bridging basic and applied research

Higher education scholarship

[edit]

Logue has brought her expertise in experimental psychology to bear on issues concerning higher education.[19][20] This work, funded by the Spencer Foundation, the Institute for Education Sciences, and the Teagle Foundation has ranged from examination of self-control and impulsiveness in higher education administrators[21] to developing mechanisms for assessing administrative performance,[22] to conducting large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of academic programs designed to increase college student success.[23][24][25][26] She has advocated for the application of social science techniques to higher education administration[27] and has published a series of articles on such matters for Inside Higher Ed.[22] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32][33][34][35] Her most recent book, Pathways to Reform: Credits and Conflict at The City University of New York, is a case study regarding the difficulty of making change in higher education.[36]
