is a tabletop game that will help you learn more about behavior and learning.
This workshop will focus on several topics, including shaping and stimulus control.
You’ll learn about behavior principles and techniques that will help you create optimal learning situations when working with both animals and people.
Throughout the weekend, we’ll talk about reinforcement systems, how to shape actions, arranging the environment to facilitate learning and build strong behaviors, how to introduce distractions, errorless learning, different ways to add and change cues, and more.
In addition to lectures and discussion, this workshop will allow you to practice your shaping skills with another human as the learner.
These exercises will help you learn to problem solve and think more creatively when designing training solutions.
You will also get to play the role of the learner, which will give you more insight into how people and animals learn.
The workshop will be limited to a small group of attendees to allow ample time for discussion and questions and so that participants can receive individual coaching during the shaping exercises.
