(2 Credits)

The main goal of this course is the development of an advanced understanding of the multiple ways in which behavior may be altered through interactions with the environment. Students will be able to gain a solid working knowledge of learning theories as they apply to real life contexts and to clinical and school settings. The course will introduce the student to the different theoretical traditions of the field. They will also learn about other technological advances of the field based on operant/classical and social learning approaches. By the end of the course, the student will be able to design a behavior modification program for a particular problem or situation.
