    This course is intended as an introduction to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA was "born" in 1959 when the laws of behavior discovered through basic research were first applied to problems encountered by humans. Since then, ABA has become a major influence in virtually every discipline that deals with human performance from treating people with developmental disabilities to enabling large corporations to develop systems to promote more efficient and satisfied employees. Inasmuch as the course teaches behavior principles and procedures, some of these same principles and procedures that have been found to enhance learning will be employed in the teaching methods. A few of these include the provision of learning objectives to let you know what you need to know; frequent quizzes over small amounts of material; demonstrations of various procedures used by behavior analysts; opportunities to role-play these procedures; immediate feedback on quiz and role-play performance with opportunities to try again; and, homework assignments designed to give you additional "field experience."
