  3. Introductions • Professor • PS 360- Applied Behavior Analysis I • Students This course examines the behavioral theory, principles, and procedures related to modifying existing behaviors and acquiring new behaviors. Students will begin to understand behavioral modification techniques, such as reinforcement, punishment, extinction, discrimination training, generalization, shaping, classical conditioning, conditioned reinforcement, and schedules of reinforcement, by applying these behavioral principles to real-world scenarios. Students will examine how behavioral management can be used in various career fields.
