This course is an introduction to behavior analysis. Everyday behavior is examined as a part of the natural world and behavior change is explained by behavioral principles derived from scientific research. Students will have many opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of the procedures that derive from behavioral principles and will get some practice in implementing those procedures in computer simulations. Principles and procedures included in the course content are reinforcement, extinction, differential reinforcement, punishment, discrimination training, generalization, shaping, fading, and programming. Classical conditioning, conditioned reinforcement, schedules of reinforcement, behavioral definitions, reliability and validity, and direct observation are also addressed.
