How to Train your Dragon (or a Rat!) 2: Psychology of Animal Training, a Slam Dunk! In-Person
We will talk about how behavior analysis (a type of psychology) is used in animal training. We will talk about how to make behaviors happen more often (reinforcement), less often (extinction), and how to train new behaviors that an animal may not already know (shaping). We will show how this training works with some helpful videos from our favorite dragon. We will also talk about how you can train a rat to play basketball, and will have a live demonstration of him playing!
