He is best known as the author and editor of text books at undergraduate and graduate level in these fields, publishing six distinct texts between 1978 and 1997, although he has also published numerous research papers, mainly on topics relating to associative learning in rats,〔e.g. Tarpy, R. M., St Claire-Smith, R., & Roberts, J. E. (1986). The effect of informational stimuli on instrumental response rate - signaling reward versus signaling the availability of reward. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Section B: Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 38, 173-189.〕 though he has also published on learning and motivation other species〔e.g. Lea, S. E. G., & Tarpy, R. M (1986). Hamsters' demand for food to eat and hoard as a function of deprivation and cost. Animal Behaviour, 34, 1759-1768. doi:10.1016/S0003-3472(86)80262-7〕 including humans;〔e.g. Tarpy, R. M., & Scharer, J. B (1994).
