Click. Reinforce. Repeat.

But what actually makes a clicker work?

Join us for our April Research Spotlight CEU, where we’ll examine how respondent and operant principles intersect in clicker training and how to intentionally establish the clicker as a conditioned reinforcer in ABA programming.

Assent-Based Clicker Training in ABA
Harnessing Respondent and Operant Principles to Teach Children with Autism

0.5 Learning CEU

Presented by: Lauren Kryzak D’Amato, PhD, BCBA-D, Vice President, PEBBL, and Kaitlin Tran, MS, BCBA

What We'll Cover:

• How to establish the clicker as a conditioned reinforcer using respondent conditioning
• How clicker training transitions into operant teaching arrangements
• Behavioral indicators that conditioning has occurred
• Two methods to measure participant preference, one subjective and one objective

This session reviews research examining concurrent chain arrangements and measurable indicators that the clicker is functioning as intended.

Short. Applied. Research-informed.

Perfect for BCBAs looking to sharpen reinforcement systems and bridge foundational principles with real-world implementation.
