2 Sertifiseringsordning BACB Behavior Analyst certification Board G.L. Shook & J.M. Johnston BCBA Board Certified Behavior Analyst BCABA Board Certified Associative Behavior Analyst 3 3 Teaching pedagogy Lære studentene generelle prinsipper innen atferdsanalyse, IKKE spesifikt i forhold til behandling av barn med autisme eller noen spesielle målgrupper. Sekvenser med interteaching (See Boyce & Hineline, 2002). Undervisning basert på sekvenser med interteaching. Reaction papers, for å kunne ta eksamen må studentene levere inn 3 (6) reaction papers i hver modul. Alle må være godkjent. Multiple-choice-tests. Det blir brukt øvelser med Sniffy og CyberRat, samt programmed instruction og øvelser for registrering og endring av egen atferd. 4 4

3 MALK403 Introduction to behavior analysis Objectives: Students can discuss the important pros and cons of a natural scientific approach to explaining human behavior Students can describe and discuss a scientific position that emphasizes the goals of description, prediction and control Students can place behavior analysis in a historical context, and account for the relationship between behavior analysis, evolutionary biology and social anthropology Students can account for positivism, empiricism and contextualism, and relate the tenets of behavior analysis to these positions Students can account for selection as a causal mode that is effective at the level Students can account for problems arising from category errors in the explanation of behavior Students can account for a functional analysis of verbal behavior Students can describe and discuss the logic and methodology of using various experimental designs Students can describe and discuss important considerations regarding the choice of analytical units in experimental and applied behavior analysis 5 5 MALKA211 Introduction of terms Topics as for example: Historical trends Respondent conditioning Operant conditioning Reinforcement Stimulus control: Discrimination and Generalization Schedules of reinforcement Shaping Extinction Punishment Ethical considerations 6 6

4 MALKA212 Refinement of terms Topics as for example: positive and negative reinforcement, conditioned reinforcers and punishment. schedules of reinforcement. ethics. motivational operations, establishing operations, abolishing operations and setting events. stimulus control. analyses at molar and molecular level, and superstition behavior. respondent conditioning. 7 7 MALKA213: Laboratory and practical exercises (practicum) We use CyberRat. The students are going to do an experiment and write up a paper. Objectives Students are going to on request to account for: The key principles of the APA manual (5th ed.) Make an outline and also write a manuscript in accordance with key principles in the APA manual (5th ed.) How behavioral principles can be used in education. How different types of behavior are shaped. How an experiment is designed. 8 8

5 MALKA214 Experimental designs and Functional analysis Topics as for example: Observation Assessment Recording techniques Within subject design (N=1 design) vs. between subject design (group design) Reliability Validity (internal, external, social etc.) Data analysis and interpretation Functional analyses: Indirect assessments Descriptive assessments Functional experimental analyses 9 9 MALKA215 Verbal behavior and Complex human behavior Topics as for example: Conditional discrimination Stimulus equivalence Relational frame theory Naming Verbal behavior Problem solving, memory, thinking and higher-order classes Rule governed vs. contingency-shaped behavior 10 10

6 MALKA216 Examples on application For example: Treatment of phobic reactions Compulsive behavior Enuresis Habit control Language training Contingency management Precision Teaching PSI (Personalized System for Instruction) Direct instruction Clicker training Self-management Deltakelse i forskningsprosjekter Lab.gruppe ble etablert i høsten Veiledning fokuseres Lab.gruppe har bestått av eksperimenter innen: Betinget diskriminasjon og stimulusekvivalens. Fokus i forhold til forskningsprosjekter innen: remembering attending behavior variabler som er av betydning for etablering av ekvivalens meaningfulness Spilleatferd. Betinget diskriminasjon og spilling verbal atferd Betingelser for netthandel. Matching Law Etablerende operasjoner Lab.møter hver uke, 3-4 timer. Oppstart 1507 Lab.gruppe 12 12

7 Lab.gruppe - eksperimentelle studier av kompleks menneskelig atferd Foregått siden høsten Annenhver torsdag 3-4 timer, oppstart kl Innhold Planlegging av eksperimenter Ferdigstilling av manuskripter for av evt. publikasjon Samarbeidspartnere Cardiff Business School, University of Cardiff University of Liverpool Southern Illinois University, Carbondale University of North Texas, Denton Queens College, NYC University of São Paulo The Norwegian School of Information technology/ Norwegian School of Management Ostfold University College Gå tilbake 14 14
