On successful completion of the course, the student has the following learning outcomes classified as knowledge and competence:

Knowledge

The student:

¿ can identify and discuss the core concepts and processes of respondent conditioning

¿ can identify and discuss core concepts and principles in operant conditioning

¿ can describe and give examples of interactions between respondent and operant conditioning

Competence

The student:

• can present core concepts and processes of respondent and operant conditioning to the public and researchers within the behavior analytic discipline

The course will include lectures, exercises, oral presentations and discussion of reading materials. The lectures will partly be based on inter-teaching sequences using literature from the curriculum. Internet-based exercises consisting of programmed instructions will be used.

Students submit 4 written assignments, each with maximum 3 pages including references, according to the deadlines in the course schedule.

Form of examination: Individual written examination with invigilation, 4 hours

Examine: One internal and one external examiner

Grading scale: A grading scale of A (highest) to F (lowest) where A to E is a pass grade and F is a fail grade
