This unit will focus on the principles and procedures of applied behaviour analysis in changing human behaviour. A range of behaviour change procedures to establish new behaviours, to increase desirable behaviours, and decrease undesirable behaviours will be studied. The characteristics of functional analysis as a bridge between effective assessment and intervention procedures will be considered. This unit will also introduce the basic issues in developing behaviour modification programs to change one's own behaviour: a process called self-management. -- Course Website
