ED 683A Behavior Analysis and Principles of Development

(3 credits)
The conceptualization of behavioral problems and the origins of behavioral disorders are critical topics to treatment and critical to building case conceptualizations for behavior analysts, behavior specialists and educators. This course focuses on philosophical underpinnings, basic principles in behavior analysis (i.e., positive and negative reinforcement, shaping, behavioral momentum, stimulus equivalence, etc.) and how they shape the development of normal and abnormal behavior in children. The role of these principles in normal development and developmental problems such as language delays, motor developmental delays, conduct and oppositional defiant disorder, childhood depression and autism are explored.  The course reviews field applications including observations, functional behavioral assessment, curriculum based-measures and interventions strategies that involve both the school and the family.

Course is Exempt from School of Education Background/clearances check policy.
