PSYC-200 Behavior Principles FA5

(3)

The experimental analysis of behavior (EAOB) systematically relates a behavior’s probability to its consequences (reinforcement and punishment). Principles derived from the EAOB are used to explain simple animal learning, stimulus control, behavioral sequences and patterning, verbal and other complex human behavior, and emotion. Issues raised by a behavioral approach to human conduct are discussed. Usually offered every term.
