PA 620 - Advanced Applied Behavior Analysis


Prerequisite(s): AB 520 . This advanced applied behavior analysis course will focus on specialized areas of basic and applied research (e.g., stimulus equivalence, relational frame theory, matching theory, concurrent schedules, behavioral economics, motivating operations, etc.) and how they can be extended to practice (e.g., FCT, token economies, self-control, academic behavior, etc.). Students will examine and critique behavioral research that illustrates these developments and their applications, review it from a conceptual/theoretical and methodological perspective, and consider extensions and implications for both research and practice.
