Focusing on applied behavioural analysis, this text uses generalization programming to show students how to apply behavioural concepts to complex everyday situations with which they are familiar. Each concept is introduced, defined, and illustrated, followed by recall questions and hypothetical stories. Students learn how to identify a variety of examples of that concept while discriminating from the non-examples provided.
