This course focuses on real world applications of behavioral principles across topics relevant to modern society. Students will explore behavioral interventions in a variety of areas, including autism, developmental disabilities, mental health, language development, parenting, play, education, feeding disorders, sports, marketing, organizational behavior management, and animal training. Within this context, students will explore what it means to say that an intervention is “behavior analytic” and evidence based and will learn how to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention based on visual data analysis and experimental design.
