This textbook introduces students to the science of behavior analysis. It is divided into four main sections corresponding to various broad strategies for solving human problems: behavior analysis, reinforcement, stimulus control, and aversive control. Each of 25 lessons starts with a pre-test, followed by a reading section containing 5-10 modules. Pedagogical features found at the back of the volume include three tear-out quizzes for each lesson (pages are perforated), as well as detailed answer keys.
Unit 1 The Behavioral Strategy
Unit 2 The Reinforcement Strategy
Unit 3 The Stimulus Control Strategy
Unit 4 Punishment by Contingent Stimulation
