ABA 512 Verbal Behavior

In Applied Behavior Analysis, language, otherwise known as verbal behavior, is studied in the context of the same concepts and principles as all other behavior. In this course, students learn about Skinner's elementary verbal operants and the application of behavioral principles to the emergence of verbal behavior in humans. Students also learn Skinner's initial theoretical contributions and examine this theory in the context of more recently proposed theories, such as Relational Frame Theory and emergent responding. Pre-requisite(s): ABA 500 and ABA 501; or permission of Program Chair or designate. Co-requisite(s): None. 2 semester hours
