Fall 2025 Lecture Distance Learning
The purpose of this course is to expand knowledge and understanding of advanced applied behavior analytic theories and interventions. Specifically, this course will focus on interventions aimed at developing new skills as well as increasing and decreasing behaviors. Procedures for identifying and designing function based interventions will be addressed. Prerequisite: EDPS 36200 or 51500 and EDPS 58800.
Learning Outcomes1Demonstrate knowledge of methods for increasing and decreasing behaviors such as antecedent and consequence-based interventions and group contingencies.
2Demonstrate knowledge and skill in developing new behaviors through advanced techniques such as shaping, chaining, and differential reinforcement procedures.
3Demonstrate knowledge and skill in procedures for assessing the function of behaviors including function based assessment and functional analysis.
4Demonstrate knowledge of guiding principles and procedures to program for maintenance and generalization of behaviors.
