General CEU: The Math Behind Behavior Reduction

The Math Behind Behavior Reduction becomes clinically important the moment a team has to turn good intentions into reliable action inside clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In The Math Behind Behavior Reduction, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

Course Description

This webinar explores the mathematical foundations underlying behavior reduction interventions, moving beyond traditional 'copy-paste' approaches to truly individualized treatment design. The presentation focuses on two primary mathematical frameworks: contingency strength analysis and percentile schedules for shaping. Participants learn how to use contingency space equations to objectively assess the probability that behaviors will result in reinforcement, enabling clinicians to predict intervention outcomes before implementation.

What You'll Learn

  1. Apply contingency space equations to objectively assess reinforcement probability and predict intervention outcomes.
  2. Describe how Functional Communication Training works through manipulating contingency strength differentials.
  3. Utilize the percentile schedule equation to objectify the shaping process and optimize skill acquisition.
