Generative Learning Strategies: Instructive Feedback belongs in serious BCBA study because it shapes whether behavior-analytic decisions stay useful once they leave a clean training example and enter case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. For this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Instructive feedback is a powerful yet often underutilized strategy in Applied Behavior Analysis programming that promotes generative learning—helping learners acquire new skills without direct teaching. This CEU event will explore how incorporating instructive feedback into program implementation can enhance skill acquisition and increase efficiency in learning. Participants will gain an understanding of evidence-based methods for embedding additional learning opportunities within discrete trial and naturalistic instruction. Practical implementation strategies, data collection methods, and real-world case examples will be discussed to support immediate application in clinical and educational settings.
