Principles of Applied Behavioral Analysis

Catalog description

This graduate-level course expands on the basic concepts and principles of Applied Behavior Analysis and provides an overview of both classic and contemporary on nonhuman and human learning. We will focus on a behavior-analytic conceptualization of learning and the underlying research on basic processes and operations that result in learning. The readings and class discussions will provide a strong foundation in the psychology of learning from a behavioral orientation. This course covers the established behavior change procedures that have been used to (1) develop new behavior and (2) decrease behavior with non-punishment methods.
