Psychological Science Colloquium
Behavioral science applications to support workplace performance
The effectiveness of a behavioral intervention is often dependent on the degree to which practitioners implement it as prescribed. However, in the predominant behavior analytic service delivery model, the direct provision of services is typically performed by paraprofessionals who often have minimal prior education and training. Thus, effective service delivery requires that supervising behavior analysts employ careful training and supervision of staff who implement behavioral treatment. In this talk, I will discuss laboratory and field research conducted to improve methods of providing employee training and ongoing support.
