DABA 625 Advanced Functional Assessment & Analysis
The overriding goals of this course are for doctoral students to demonstrate comprehension and application of structural, functional, and branch analysis and the evaluation and synthesis of stimulus control methodologies to determine the controlling factors of behavior. Students will demonstrate competency with the experimental analysis of behavior methodologies to determine the function of behavior across a variety of complex behaviors by reading, discussing, and presenting assigned and self-selected experimental papers. Areas covered include the functional analysis of behaviors associated with mental health disorders, mood disorders, substance use, disordered eating, and other complex behaviors. Students must design and present a hypothetical research prospectus in which a functional analysis of complex behavior is conducted.
