Dr. Garbin joined the faculty in 1985, after receiving his degree in experimental psychology from the University of Texas at Arlington. He teaches psychometrics, research methods and data analysis, as well as perception. His primary research interest is human perception, especially how people explore the objects, shapes and textures of their world using touch, vision, and hearing. He is also interested in the quantification of psychological constructs such as aptitudes, attitudes and aspects of personality, and the application of multivariate data analysis to test psychological theories.
