ABA 542 - Child Development: A Behavioral Systems Approach

An initial course in child development within a behavioral systems approach, which combines views of dynamical systems concepts with a behavioral analysis of development. This approach incorporates both person and environment influences and views developmental outcomes as a constant process of reciprocal interactions (or transactions) between nature and nurture. This course will examine a behavior-analytic approach to developmental psychology, with emphasis on process, interaction, environmental influences, and the individual, with an emphasis on a Behavioral Systems Theory view of the process of human development.
