If stereotypy is so fun, why can't we use it as reinforcement? Well, there are a couple big reasons and we've got the articles that explain it all. But that's next week. In our preview episode this week, we head back down our ethical decision-tree with another chance to practice talking with non-behaviorist colleagues. And, in a shocking twist of fate, one of our hosts will be featured in the New England Behavior Analyst. It's a 33% chance of guessing which one, but a 100% chance for awesome podcast!
