Taylor & Francis Principles of Behavior
Book SynopsisKnown for both its narrative style and scientific rigor, Principles of Behavior is the premier introduction to behavior analysis. Through an exploration of experimental, applied, and theoretical concepts, the authors summarize the key conversations in the field. They bring the content to life using humorous and engaging language and show students how the principles of behavior relate to their everyday lives. The textâs tried-and-true pedagogy make the content as clear as possible without oversimplifying the concepts. Each chapter includes study objectives, key terms, and review questions that encourage students to check their understanding before moving on, and incorporated throughout the text are real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts and principles.This edition features some significant organizational changes: the respondent conditioning chapter is now Chapter 1, a general introduction to operant conditioning is now covered in Chapters 2 and 3, and the introduction to research methods is now covered in Chapter 4. These changes were made to help instructors prepare students for starting a research project at the beginning of the course. Two new chapters include Chapter 5 on the philosophy supporting behavior analysis, and Chapter 24 on verbal behavior that introduces B.F. Skinnerâs approach and terminology. This edition also features a new full-color design and over 400 color figures, tables, and graphs.Principles of Behavior is an essential resource for both introductory and intermediate courses in behavior analysis. It is carefully tailored to the length of a standard academic semester and how behavior analysis courses are taught, with each section corresponding to a weekâs worth of coursework. The text can also function as the first step in a studentâs journey into becoming a professional behavior analyst at the BA, MA, or PhD/EdD level. Each chapter of the text is integrated with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) task list, serving as an excellent primer to many of the BACB tasks.The text is supported by a set of PowerPoint slides with figures, tables, and graphs for every chapter and a robust test bank with multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, and short answer questions for every chapter for a total of over 1,500 questions.Table of ContentsPrefacePart I: Respondent ConditioningChapter 1 Respondent ConditioningPart II: Operant ConditioningChapter 2 Operant Conditioning for Dummies Part IChapter 3 Operant Conditioning for Dummies Part IIPart III: Methodology and PhilosophyChapter 4 Research MethodsChapter 5 The Philosophy Supporting Behavior AnalysisPart IV: ReinforcementChapter 6 Positive ReinforcementChapter 7 Negative ReinforcementPart V: PunishmentChapter 8 Positive PunishmentChapter 9 Negative PunishmentPart VI: Extinction and Related ProcessesChapter 10 Extinction and Recovery Chapter 11 Differential Reinforcement and Differential PunishmentPart VII: MotivationChapter 12 Unconditioned and Conditioned Reinforcers and PunishersChapter 13 Motivating OperationsPart VIII: Stimulus ControlChapter 14 Basic Stimulus ControlChapter 15 Complex Stimulus ControlPart IX: Complex Processes IChapter 16 ImitationChapter 17 AvoidancePart X: Complex Processes IIChapter 18 ShapingChapter 19 Behavioral ChainsPart XI: Schedules of ReinforcementChapter 20 Ratio SchedulesChapter 21 Time-Based SchedulesPart XII: Complex Processes IIIChapter 22 Concurrent ContingencesChapter 23 Maintenance and TransferPart XIII: Verbal BehaviorChapter 24 Verbal BehaviorPart XIV: Rule-Governed BehaviorChapter 25 Rule-Governed Behavior: Concepts and ApplicationsChapter 26 Rule-Governed Behavior: TheoryChapter 27 Thanks
