EPSY 6363 ABA 3: Concepts and Principals
This course provides a comprehensive and thorough presentation of the concepts and principles that must be mastered prior to entering practice as a behavior analyst. The topics covered are not tasks that a practitioner would perform; instead, they are concept and principles that must be well understood for a practitioner to carry out the tasks of a BCBA. Content includes a rigorous examination of: behavior responses and classes, stimulus and stimulus class, respondent and operant conditioning, positive and negative reinforcement, schedules of reinforcement, positive and negative punishment, automatic and socially mediated contingencies, unconditioned and conditioned reinforcers and punishers, extinction, stimulus control, discrimination, generalization and maintenance, motivating operations, rule?governed and contingency-shaped behavior, verbal operants, and derived stimulus relations.
