In this episode of BOOST U!, Maddie Duke, MS, BCBA, and Corey Robertson, MS, BCBA, break down reinforcement from a behavior analytic perspective. Whether you're prepping for the BCBA exam or just looking to strengthen your understanding, this discussion covers all classifications of reinforcement—positive vs. negative, socially mediated vs. automatic, and unconditioned vs. conditioned (plus generalized reinforcers!). Tune in for clear explanations, real-world examples, and tips to help you apply these concepts with confidence.
