Ep6 Human Performance across Multiple Settings- Finding Commonalities Among the Stars

Atypical Behavior Analyst

You’ve set your coordinates and are on the adventure of a lifetime. But what happens when your course gets thrown off by a passing meteor or you find yourself trapped in an unexpected asteroid field? Come with us as we learn to navigate these events by finding how the principles of behavior analysis can be applied across multiple settings and a variety of performers.

In this episode we meet with Becky Herring, Procurement Operations Project Management at Lockheed Martin. She regales us with stories of how her original course took an unexpected turn and what she learned exploring different career paths. She describes how her behavior analytic skills generalized to the various work settings she found herself. Becky also provides examples on garnering information on preferences for reinforcement and feedback when working with adults in large corporations- surveys and Likert Scales can provide useful information!

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe how performance management systems can look across various settings and levels of administration.

2. Provide examples of similarities and differences when working with different types of performers and learners.

3. Create organization-based preference assessments for staff that are inclusive of multiple methods of praise and reward systems.

4. Once feedback and information are received, determine how the feedback will be reviewed and implemented across the organizational system.
