What does risky sex, drug use, and even indoor tanning have in common? Fortunately Derek Reed joins me in Session 17 to\u00a0provide a tutorial of sorts on behavioral economics, which helps to explain how these (and many other) \"problems of consumption,\"\u00a0are influenced by behavior-environment relationships.<\/p>\n

Derek runs the\u00a0Applied Behavioral Economics Laboratory<\/a>\u00a0at the University of Kansas, and has extensive experience across a wide range of behavior analytic niches. For example, during the interview, he tells the story of how within the first semester of studying Behavior Analysis, he was doing everything from providing services to children in applied settings while also working in an animal laboratory.<\/p>\n

He also describes some of his research on how people choose to partake in indoor tanning, and explains some of the behavioral economic principles that influence such decisions. Although we get, \"into the weeds,\" as it relates to discussing\u00a0concepts from the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Derek expertly translates many of these ideas into language that is, in the end, quite accessible. Even if you have no interest in EAB, I believe that there are take-home messages for Behavior Analysts in all settings. To that end, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.<\/p>\n

Objectives of this training:<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The learner will be able to describe what is meant by, \u2018reinforcer consumption.\u2019<\/li>\n
  2. The learner will be able to provide examples of the term, \u2018unit price,\u2019 as it is used in the context of this podcast episode.<\/li>\n
  3. The learner will be able to define what is meant by, \u2018elasticity.\u2019<\/li>\n
  4. The learner will be able to define and provide examples of, \u2018delay discounting.\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
