L. Kimberly Epting, assistant professor of psychology, recently published two articles in a special issue of Journal of Behavioral and Neuroscience Research. The special issue focuses on pedagogical techniques for teaching the psychology of learning.
The first article, co-authored with Thomas D. Green, professor of psychology, details a human operant laboratory exercise for in-class use, “Behavioral principles in action: An easy human operant lab for the classroom.” The second article, “Connecting the fundamental science of behavior analysis to everyday experience: An assignment for students,” presents a study on the utility of an assignment aimed at helping students see the presence of behavioral principles in everyday events.
