Oh man this is gonna be so cool! We’re gonna talk layers of reinforcement! We’re gonna talk animal training! We’re gonna talk about zoo animals learning to consent to receive necessary injections! AND we’re gonna talk Goldiamond and the importance of stories and listening, unpacking the organism/learner, and how behavior analysis can improve the lives of animals, their keepers, handlers, and fur/feathered/and scaley parents.
In this LIVE chat with Lisa Clifton-Bumpass, animal trainer, expert consultant, supervisor, and so much, much more! She’ll relay her story of working with animals (and humans) and discuss how working with animals has shifted and changed throughout the years. Stories and histories provide lessons for others to further explore. This curiosity is important when it comes to understanding the learner, be they fur legged, scaley, or feathered, and then building interventions and programs through the Constructional Approach. Behavioral science is unique in the fact it can be applied to multiple layers, systems, responses, and learners, even if they look a little alien. Curiosity and creativity help expand the science, lead to improved adaption and flexibility within various situations, and further growth for both the practitioner and the learner.
