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.
