APBA 6230 Experimental Analysis

This course focuses on the branch of behavior analysis that provides the basic building blocks for the field and a foundation for applied behavior analysis. Strategies in applied behavior analysis are largely rooted in research from the experimental analysis of behavior but with application to socially important behaviors. Students will develop competence in understanding how principles of behavior are discovered and described in the context of basic research. Emphasis will be on basic processes such as classical conditioning, operant conditioning, stimulus control, escape, avoidance, and response shaping.
