3 credit hours Prerequisites: PSY 120, 200, and 342. The objective of this course is to describe complex behavioral principles and procedures for systematically changing socially important behaviors. Topics to be studied include the major principles of behavior (e.g. reinforcement, punishment, extinction) and procedures derived from those principles (e.g. shaping, chaining) for increasing the frequency of existing behavior, obtaining desired stimulus control, developing new behaviors, and decreasing the frequency of behavior with nonpunishment procedures. Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior, special applications of behavior change technology, and strategies for increasing generalization of behavior change will also be examined. The final part of this course will focus on ethical considerations and practices for applied behavior analysts. This course is part of the sequence designed to prepare students to sit for the Board Certified Associate Behavior Analyst (BCABA) exam.
