Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

This course begins with introduction to a system of principles that account for the acquisition and maintenance of both normal and problematic behavior. Building upon this, applied behavior analysis will be illustrated with examples such as useful parenting techniques, the combining of simple into complex skills, interventions for severely problematic behavior, and early interventions for autism. The basics of Pavlovian conditioning will also be included, emphasizing their role in clinical phenomena and in drug addiction. The concluding phase of the course will be concerned with functional analyses of verbal behavior in typical human interactions, as well as in the origins of awareness and self-control.
