R. Douglas Greer is Professor of Psychology and Education in the program in Special Education in TC's Department of Health and Behavior Studies, He is creator of the Comprehensive Application of Behavior Analysis to Schooling (CABAS), a method he has adapted from the ideas of his mentor B.F. Skinner and used in schools he has founded in the United States and Europe to help children with autism and other developmental disorders. The guiding precept of CABAS, which has helped hundreds of children speak their first words and has also shown promise with mainstream students, is that human beings learn to do things (or not do them) in response to “reinforcers”—food, encouragement and other stimuli. In works such as Designing Teaching Strategies: An Applied Behavior Analysis Systems Approach (Elsevier, 2002),Greer has argued that when teaching is treated as an art, "good teaching is an accident,” while "when teaching is treated as a science, good teaching can be replicated across many professionals in a reliable fashion”.

An organizational psychologist, Judith L. Komaki specializes in motivation, performance appraisal, and leadership. Initially, she set up motivational programs to improve such critical but difficult-to-detect tasks as preventive maintenance, customer service, and safety. But she quickly learned that without the proper management support, the program, no matter how well designed, would be doomed to failure. Hence, she began listening aboard racing sailboats and in darkened theaters to the nimble, back-and-forth exchanges of those in charge. What effective managers actually said and did was her focus. Currently, as a Professor Emerita of City University of New York’s Baruch College, she is striving to develop sophisticated performance appraisals and accolades for employees at all levels throughout the organization. Her ultimate aim is to prevent employment discrimination and promote economic and social justice for all. She is the proud author of a leadership book (Leadership from an Operant Perspective, Routledge, 1998), an off-off Broadway play, and an article about pursuing the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. (Applied Psychology: International Review, 2007).
