About This Event
What in the world is negative reinforcement? How does the term "positive punishment" make any sense? Anlara Hoskins, Co-Founder of Candid Contingencies LLC, discusses the behavior analytic definitions of reinforcement and punishment and how they are different than what you might know them to be in your daily life. The labels "positive" and "negative" are explained and examples of all four different behavior change procedures are discussed. In this free 0.5 credit PDU, you will learn how to recognize these different procedures in your clinical work AND in your daily life.
