PSY261 Behavior Modification
Introduces students to the elementary principles and procedures of behavior modification with an emphasis on developing theoretical and practical knowledge in the following areas: observing and recording; recognizing instances of reinforcement, extinction, and punishment and their likely long-term effects; interpreting behavioral episodes in terms of behavioral principles and procedures; and designing, implementing, and evaluating behavioral programs. Discussion and references will be provided so that students will learn not only how to apply behavior modification, but also some of the basic empirical support and theoretical underpinnings of the field.
