About the event

Control: The Other Primary Reinforcer

Behaviour analysis (BA) studies how animals learn and change their behaviour due to environmental interactions. Learning is an evolved tool, part of our biological endowment from a behaviour analysis perspective. Simply, it is our nature to behave effectively. Effective behaviour is blocked when learning and welfare are compromised. You can enhance learning and welfare by increasing animals’ control over their valued outcomes. This talk is an overview of the science-based principles and practices relevant to improving learners’ effectiveness by providing more control.
