James Jakubow

James J. Jakubow is a University Instructor of Psychology at Florida Atlantic University. He received his M.A. in the Experimental Analysis of Behavior at Western Michigan University and his Ph.D. in Learning Processes at the City University of New York. He then moved to Florida Atlantic University in 1998 where he has since conducted research on behavioral pharmacology and mathematical psychology. Dr. Jakubow has taught a broad range of psychology courses first starting at Queens College/CUNY. Over his career he has taught courses in adolescent psychology, applied behavior analysis, behavioral pharmacology, biopsychology, drug abuse treatment, human development, learning & memory, statistics, research methods, but primarily in general psychology. In addition, since 2015 he has been teaching the behavioral sciences review section of the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). He has currently taught over 30,000 students since 1993. Outside of academia, he has about five years doing clinical interventions in intellectual disabilities, autism and schizophrenia. In addition, he has served as the Director of Behavior Analysis Services for Foster Care in Broward County, Florida, one of the nation’s largest foster care systems. Consistently rated through student evaluations as a top instructor in his department, Dr. Jakubow has used his frequent contact with students to modify how his textbook describes its most difficult sections of general psychology. This hands-on approach has led Dr. Jakubow to both create and regularly edit the entire test bank for this textbook. This has made the exam and quiz banks of his textbook accurate, up-to-date and—more importantly—well written. His test bank does not include questions from previously removed sections or questions with unclear meanings. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family, hiking and making use of the thousands of acres of available Florida wilderness.
