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.

Today we are joined by Dr. Ramona Houmanfar, Dr. Matthew Lewon, Dr. Bethany Contreras, as well as two students. I have been excited to speak to this program for the plethora of opportunities they are offering, not only to their students but, the behavior analytic community at large. Listen today to learn about the faculty, research, practicum opportunities, and the student experience. You will not be disappointed. 

Verbal behavior is a topic that is most associated with a clinical setting.
