Dr. Martens' work focuses on translating findings from basic operant research into effective school-based interventions, functional assessment and treatment of children's classroom behavior problems, and the instructional hierarchy as a sequenced approach to skill training. He teaches courses in applied behavior analysis, school consultation, and measurement.
