In this course, Dr. Eb Blakely and Dr. Hank Schlinger describe function-altering operations and detail how function-altering interpretations can be used to explain the effects of respondent and operant conditioning. Other examples of function-altering operations including observational learning and imprinting are then described. The presentation concludes with a discussion on the implications of taking a function-altering approach to explaining behavior in applied and conceptual contexts.

Translational research typically is understood as the line of research that tries to take findings from basic research and then translates its applications in the applied field of behavior analysis.

Translational research helped show that findings from non-human animal research could generalize to humans as well as create behavioral technology.
