Methodology
DS approaches to development have been theoretically rich but somewhat
lacking in appropriate methodologies for testing these models. Thus, I am
also interested in exploring and developing innovative research designs, measures,
programs, and analytical techniques that will allow others to apply a DS framework
to their investigations. In order to conduct this innovative research, I have
further refined the state space grid
method, developed by my mentor (Marc
Lewis).
The state space grid method is summarized in this short paper from the proceedings
of the Measuring Behavior conference 2005:

I also headed a project to develop a software program so that other researchers
could use this technique. GridWare is freely available on the web at www.statespacegrids.org
