Today’s topic was: Reinforcement & Punishment. #PositiveReinforcement - Stimulus added to increase the future frequency of behavior. #NegativeReinforcement - Stimulus removed to increase the future frequency of behavior. #PositivePunishment - Stimulus added to decrease the future frequency of behavior. #NegativePunishment - Stimulus removed to decrease the future frequency of behavior.

Pumpkin Spice Latte vs BCBA exam

I have yet to indulge in a pumpkin spice latte this season. I can't decide if I should do a reinforcement sampling technique and have one BEFORE my exam or make it contingent on completing the exam and have one AFTER.

My husband suggested I could do both.

Behaviour Analysis Q & A

I got an anonymous ask in my mailbox with a few different questions.  I am going to break them down into their own separate Q & A and answer them throughout the week.  Stay tuned.

In the meantime, continue to send those asks my way.  I can take a few days to answer as I go digging into some of my resources.  Responding to your asks help me study as well as to practice my verbal behaviour when it comes to disseminating behaviour analysis to potential consumers.

Holy Life Events Batman! (Or my apologies for disappearing)

It's time to get this thing started again!  Life got a little hectic and I put blogging (and tweeting at my usual pace) on hold. Not to say life got any more busy than others' but the novel items on my "to-do" list required more attention than I planned for; mainly:

Studying for and writing my BCBA exam (that didn't end up happening as there was a delay in approving my paper work.  I studied hard up until the last minute with the realization that it wasn't going to happen like I planned).

Adding a new job teaching a college course on behaviour observation and assessment.

Getting married to the love of my life (and unwavering source of positive reinforcement; especially throughout the stress of above)

It may have been a bit advantageous of me to do all of the above in one month but I can happily say it is either done, stable or will be back on when the time is right.  For now, it's time to get my everyday-is-behaviour analysis groove back on.
