Study Questions
Behavior Analysis and Learning, Fourth Edition is an essential textbook covering the basic principles in the field of behavior analysis and learned behaviors, as pioneered by B. F. Skinner.
Instructions
The best way to use these study questions is to choose or assign speaker-listener pairs. Each student in the dyad reads and studies the material; this is followed by a discussion session (scheduled at the convenience of the two students).
At the discussion session (perhaps over lunch), the students take turns as speaker and listener. The speaker's job is to talk about the textbook chapter based on the study questions; the listener's role is to provide attention and corrective feedback for the speaker's behavior (checking with the textbook if necessary).
An alternative to verbal interaction is that students write brief answers in paragraph form to each of the questions. The pages for the answers are indicated in parentheses.
