A HELPFUL "FOR FURTHER READING" FEATURE IN MOST OF THE CHAPTERS DIRECTS STUDENTS TO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. Students find this helpful feature in the chapters on behavioral principles (Chs. 4-8) and procedures (Chs. 9-25). Each "For Further Reading" feature identifies and briefly describes and cites one or more interesting articles related to the chapter's content. You can assign these articles for extra credit or use them to challenge your more advanced students.
THE TEXT'S UNIQUE ORGANIZATION PRESENTS TO UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES AND THEN PROCEDURES. The author follows the proven principle that students better understand the procedures of behavior modification after first learning the fundamental principles. To support this approach, Chapters 4-8 review the principles underlying operant and respondent behavior, while Chapters 9-25 discuss the application of these principles.
WIDE VARIETY OF EXAMPLES DEMONSTRATES APPLICATION FOR DIFFERING POPULATIONS. This edition's numerous examples highlight different populations in multiple settings. Students review examples that feature college students, school-age children and people with developmental disabilities This offers a uniquely wide lens through which to consider today's behavior modification principles.
"APPLICATION EXERCISES" HIGHLIGHT REAL-LIFE CASES AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING QUESTIONS. These exercises at the end of each procedures chapter (Chs. 2, 3, 9-25) present actual cases and questions that ask students to apply the procedures that are described. "Misapplication Exercises" follow each of the "Application Exercises," providing case studies that ask students to analyze what's wrong with the procedure being applied to the case. Answers to both sets of exercises appear in the Solution and Answer Guide, available in the instructor resources.
