Examine core concepts and principles derived from the experimental analysis of behaviour and radical behaviourism. Explore basic learning phenomena, including respondent, operant, and complex behaviour, with emphasis on experimental methods and research design. Develop analytic skills for evaluating research evidence and understanding how behavioural concepts and principles emerge from experimental data. Delivered term-based online.

Develop ethical, culturally responsive, and evidence-based decision-making skills for applied behaviour analysis. Examine ethics codes, standards of practice, professional conduct, and professionalism across research and service delivery contexts. Analyze ethical responsibilities, common dilemmas, and the complexities of ethical practice within the science and application of behaviour analysis. Delivered term-based online.

Develop applied decision-making skills for designing interventions for complex behaviour informed by functional behaviour assessments. Critically evaluate research on indirect and direct assessment and functional analysis. Apply assessment findings to case formulation and intervention planning, with emphasis on antecedent-based strategies, consequence-based strategies, systems of behaviour change, and special considerations in intervention design.
