Description
Join Dr. Jesús Rosales-Ruiz and Mary Hunter for a one-day workshop all about shaping behaviors. You’ll learn about behavior principles and techniques that will help you create optimal learning situations when working with both animals and people. Throughout the workshop, we’ll talk about reinforcement systems, picking effective starting points, how to shape actions, raising criteria, errorless learning, and more. In addition to lectures and discussion, this workshop will allow you to practice your shaping skills with another human as the learner using the shaping game PORTL. The PORTL exercises will help you learn to problem solve and think more creatively when designing training solutions. You will also get to play the role of the learner, which will give you more insight into how people and animals learn.
