Dr. JAMES LAUB
-View Directory ListingMy name is James Laub and I want to tell you a little bit about myself. I received my Ph.D. from Prairie View A & M University, my M.Ed. from the University of Houston – Victoria, and my B.A. from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. Education is my passion and I am a strong advocate of lifelong learning.
Before joining TAMU in January 2014, I taught classes in educational leadership at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, as well as supervising principal and superintendent certification candidates for Prairie View A & M University. Prior to teaching in higher education, I served public school students as a Teacher, Assistant Principal, Principal, Assistant Superintendent and Superintendent. Prior to entering public education, I served as a Juvenile Probation Officer and in the US Naval Reserve.
I live in College Station, Texas with my wife of 32 years, Joyce, and my youngest son, Jason. My oldest son, Justin, lives in Odessa, Texas with his wife, Aleesha, and grandchildren Lilly Grace who is 4 years old and Dalton Wade who was recently born on my birthday, August 14th – best birthday gift ever.

STEVEN WOLTERING
-View Directory ListingNote: this page is updated yearly. For more up-to-date information, please check my website or CV
Steven Woltering is an assistant professor in the department of Educational Psychology since September 2014 and jointly appointed with the department of Psychology. He is the director and founder of the Neurobiological lab for Learning and Development (NLD) which promotes, and educates on, the use of biometrics in social and health sciences. You can learn more about the NLD’s mission, research, and capability from this website: http://nld.tamu.edu
Dr. Woltering’s interest, broadly put, is to better understand the role of self-regulation in our behavior and apply this to the field of education. Self-regulation refers to the ability to control your attention and emotions and this capacity is considered crucial for developing a cognitive and emotional competence.
- Main research questions:
- Why are certain people able to control their attention and emotions better than others?
- How does this ability of self-regulation develop across the lifespan?
- Can this ability of self-regulation be trained so that people can become more effective learners?
Dr. Woltering has conducted studies on the role of self-regulation in typical and atypical populations, such as those suffering from ADHD, disruptive behavior problems, anxiety disorders, or types of addictive behavior (such as overeating). His work involves individual difference, developmental, and intervention/treatment studies and adopts a wide variety of methodologies, including questionnaire, observational, meta-analytical, executive function/neuropsychological, physiological and neuroscientific measures.
