Chance wants his readers to learn the language of behavior analysis, to become acquainted with the most important procedures for changing behavior, and to recognize that scientific method can be used successfully to solve problems. He has created an interactive classroom experience to facilitate the learning and application of practical solutions to behavior problems. In a simulated classroom, course content is presented by Dr. CeeÂa fictional instructor whose lectures are punctuated by frequent questions designed to keep readers on their toes and to think critically about a particular topic.
