Next Week's
Sessions

Next week we will continue reading about behaviorism. Be thinking about a particular behavior or habit that is annoying you (could be your own, your spouse's, your child's, your student's) and when you read the chapter begin to think about how you might apply what you are reading to changing this behavior. We will begin the task of applying your knowledge of behaviorism through your Applied Behavior Analysis Project. Look carefully at that section in your readings for next week.
