On p. 33, the definition of Aversive stimulus (negative reinforcer) has an error in it, & it's kind of an important one. Here's what it should say:
• A stimulus
• that increases the future frequency of a response that
• its removal (termination) follows.
In the 1st box in the 1st column of p. 36, the gray box at the upper right should say "Go to Chapter 5" & the one at the lower left should say "Go to Chapter 4."
The little diagram at the bottom of p. 52 is incorrect. The phrase in the "after box" should say Sid itches less.
I teach courses in the principles and applications of Behavior Analysis, the science and technology of behavior, which is different from other approaches in psychology in that it takes behavior as a subject matter in its own right, rather than as a tool for studying something else, such as the mind. The main purpose of this blog is to be a supplementary means of communication with students who are taking my courses.
