Principles of Behavior Modification
本课程系统介绍应用行为分析（ABA）的基本原理与行为矫正技术。课程内容包括行为的实验分析基础、经典条件作用与操作条件作用理论、强化与惩罚原理、行为的功能评估方法、以及各类行为改变技术（正强化、负强化、消退、塑造、渐隐、代币制、反应代价等）。学生将学习如何运用ABC行为分析模式识别问题行为的功能，设计和实施行为干预方案，并对干预效果进行评估。课程强调伦理原则和积极行为支持的理念。
This course systematically introduces the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and behavior modification techniques. Topics include the experimental analysis of behavior, classical and operant conditioning, reinforcement and punishment principles, functional behavioral assessment, and behavior change techniques (positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, extinction, shaping, fading, token economy, response cost, etc.). Students learn to use the ABC model for functional analysis, design and implement behavior intervention plans, and evaluate intervention effectiveness, with emphasis on ethical principles and positive behavior support.
学生需选择一个具体的问题行为案例（如自闭症儿童的攻击行为、注意力缺陷儿童的课堂扰乱行为等），设计一份完整的行为干预方案。方案内容包括：个案背景描述、目标行为的操作定义与测量方法、功能评估过程与结果分析、干预策略选择与具体实施步骤、数据收集与效果评估方案、以及伦理考虑与泛化计划。要求基于行为原理设计干预措施，提出具体可操作的实施步骤，并预期可能的困难与应对策略。
Students will select a specific problem behavior case (e.g., aggressive behavior in a child with autism, classroom disruptive behavior in a child with ADHD) and design a comprehensive behavior intervention plan. The plan should include case background, operational definitions and measurement of target behaviors, functional assessment process and analysis, intervention strategy selection and implementation steps, data collection and evaluation methods, ethical considerations, and generalization planning. Evidence-based strategies and practical implementation details are required.
