Exploring Synchronous Schedules of Reinforcement | With Dr. Claudia Dozier #142
Episode description
This week, we are joined by Dr. Claudia Dozier, a Professor in the Department of Applied Behavioral Science at the University of Kansas. With a bachelor's degree from Florida State University, a master's degree from the University of Nevada, Reno, and a doctoral degree from the University of Florida, Dr. Dozier brings a wealth of knowledge to our discussion. Dr. Dozier's research areas include assessment, treatment, and prevention of behavior disorders, as well as schedules of reinforcement.
In recognition of her dedication, Dr. Dozier received the Steeples Service to Kansans Award in 2020 for her outstanding contributions to the people of Kansas. Notably, she and her colleagues recently secured a $2.5 million federal grant to provide telehealth services to families with children with autism who engage in disruptive repetitive behavior. Today's episode will focus on the intriguing topic of synchronous schedules of reinforcement.
