A comprehensive introductory psychology sequence for university students, exploring the biological, cognitive, and social foundations of human behavior through a lens of scientific inquiry and critical analysis.
A foundational university-level psychology curriculum covering biological bases, cognitive processes, behavioral theories, and social dynamics. This sequence provides a rigorous introduction to the scientific study of the human mind and behavior.
A comprehensive introduction to objective behavioral assessment for undergraduate students, focusing on operationalizing behavior, ABC recording, quantitative measurement, setting events, and data visualization.
A critical exploration of behavioral psychology, focusing on the tension between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Students analyze the ethical implications of reward systems in education, technology, and society.
A comprehensive exploration of operant conditioning for 10th-grade students, focusing on the mechanics of positive reinforcement, schedules of reinforcement, and the biological basis of reward. Students will learn to analyze behavior through the ABC model and design effective reinforcement strategies for real-world scenarios.
This sequence provides a rigorous introduction to operant conditioning for undergraduate students, focusing on the technical application of positive reinforcement. It covers the Three-Term Contingency, discrimination between consequences, operational definitions, motivational operations, and theoretical critiques.
This sequence examines the psychological and ethical limits of positive reinforcement. Students analyze the 'Overjustification Effect', the impact of rewards on creativity, and the ethics of behavioral nudging, concluding with a critical audit of real-world incentive systems.
This sequence explores the psychological mechanics of operant conditioning, specifically focusing on positive reinforcement. Students will move from defining basic behavioral loops to analyzing complex schedules of reinforcement and designing their own behavior modification plans based on B.F. Skinner's principles.
A clinical workshop sequence for undergraduate students focusing on the technical design of exposure hierarchies, SUDS ratings, and behavioral analysis for anxiety treatment.
This sequence introduces 11th-grade students to the principles of systematic desensitization and exposure therapy. Students will move from understanding the behavioral mechanics of anxiety (the cycle of avoidance) to technically designing and evaluating exposure hierarchies for therapeutic use.
This sequence explores the rapid cognitive, physical, and social-emotional changes during an infant's first year, covering motor milestones, Piaget's sensorimotor stage, language acquisition, and attachment theory. Students analyze the interplay between biological maturation and environmental interaction to understand early human development.
This sequence introduces 12th-grade students to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and the four functions of behavior (SEAT: Sensory, Escape, Attention, Tangible). Students will learn that behavior is communication and develop skills to identify the 'why' behind actions through observation and case study analysis.
