PA 711 - Experimental Analysis of Behavior

This course addresses critical areas of the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB) literature and focuses on thematic research in several sample areas of stimulus equivalence, generalization and discrimination, concept formation, escape and aviodance, and schedule-induced behavior. Students read classic research articles in the field of EAB, as well as more current research designed to assess behavioral mechanisms associated with experimental findings. By the end of the course students will know how to read and understand basic research articles (e.g., in the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior and other journals in experimental psychology) and will understand the implications of such research for the theoretical basis of the field and its application to human behavior.
