Making It Legal: Strap on Urinals »

If guys are going to pee on trees (the discriminative stimulus [SD] to this behaviour), then alter the SD some and now their behaviour is much more acceptable.

Sometimes it’s not about stopping the behaviour from happening.  People at outdoor festivals have to and will pee.  Rather, it’s about changing the circumstances under which they occur.  Kudos to the designers and festival organizers for demonstrating stimulus control.

About

I consider myself a behaviourist (the radical kind). Just finished my master's in disability studies and applied behaviour analysis (ABA) and am working towards board certification. I work in a school board facilitating ABA practices in the classroom setting of students with challenging behaviours and complex needs. My goal is for people to understand behaviourism and ABA as it relates to everything we do. I aim to accomplish this by highlighting everyday examples of behaviour analytic principles.

ABA is more than a therapy and has wider applications beyond autism. I believe that solutions to society's problems (which are really, behaviour problems) can be solved using the science of ABA. Change is possible when the behaviour is analyzed and the environmental contingencies are arranged.

I also write to clarify common misconceptions about behaviourism and ABA. There's more to the science than just rewards and punishment.

When I'm not reading Skinner or JABA articles, I indulge in doughnuts and music. My relationship with either of those vices may creep into these posts. ~Tricia-Lee
