Summary:
This episode explores the research on observational learning and conditioned reinforcers in children, featuring experts Jessica Singer-Dudek, Jennifer Longano, and Hung Chang. We discuss their research on observational conditioning-by-denial and how peer versus adult models influence establishment of conditioned reinforcers. We also discuss how these findings can be applied in educational settings to enhance learning and behavior management.
