Applications of Skinner's Analysis of Problem Solving to Teach Complex Behaviors is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of language assessment, teaching sessions, caregiver coaching, and natural communication routines. In Applications of Skinner's Analysis of Problem Solving to Teach Complex Behaviors, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

Applying his analysis has many advantages when designing instruction to teach meaningful skills to individuals with and without disabilities. This presentation will focus on translating Skinner's theoretical analysis of problems and problem solving into real world applications. Examples from applied and basic studies of complex behavior will be discussed. Suggestions for integrating Skinner's analysis of problem solving into practice contexts will be provided. Objectives: a. Attendees will define a problem and problem solving using a Skinnerian analysis. b. Attendees will pinpoint examples of problem solving within complex responses. c. Attendees will analyze the role of motivation and stimulus control in problem solving.
