Summary

Contingent reinforcement is great and all. But what if I could have the reinforcement delivered at the same time as my target behavior? Despite having been described for some time, very little has been done to explore the potential use of synchronous reinforcement. Fortunately, Dr. Claudia Dozier joins us this week to get this new line of research up to speed by discussing two of her recent publications on the subject. So listen in while eating a big bag of your favorite snack!

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

That's why I talk so much on the show. You know, it's just so an enjoyable process. And we were sort of talking about why I needed that anymore. Is it too much of a crutch?
