Podcasts about Reinforcement

When it comes to successful interventions, knowing the “why” behind behaviors is key. As practitioners, we may have learned in school that there are four functions of behavior: escape, attention, tangible, and sensory. However, in practice, things aren't always so cut and dry. Here, we dive into the roles of antecedents, triggers, and functions so we can better understand what drives challenging behavior.In this conversation, we discuss setting events and how what comes right before a behavior helps us understand a learner's missing skills. We look at how to best determine the function of a behavior and how to teach appropriate replacement skills. We also discuss synthesized reinforcement, the importance of conducting a functional behavior assessment, and reinforcement strategies.

In this episode, we discuss intermittent and variable reinforcement in dog training and how these methods can help strengthen and maintain behaviors over time. By varying the timing and frequency of rewards, trainers can keep dogs more engaged and responsive. We explore the science behind why unpredictable reinforcement works, and when to apply it in training routines. Whether you're focusing on basic cues or more advanced behaviours, understanding these reinforcement strategies can support more consistent and lasting results. Join us for a thoughtful look at how timing and variability can shape behavior more effectively.   Find us online >> Panos @ www.npdogtraining.com >> Luke @ www.kizunacanine.com.au >> www.facebook.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.instagram.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com

What to listen for:In the second part of the series on consistency, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing take a closer look at the mechanics of consistency, from creating intentional setup signals to reinforcing behaviors for longevity! You've probably heard about marker timing and reinforcement. Today, our hosts take a fresh look at the finer details—like how you stand, where you point your toes, and even the words you use when training your dog to shape new behaviors.The Dames of Detection chat about how good mechanics aren't just about doing something with your hands—it's about reading your dog and being intentional about your own patterns so your canine partner can read you. From how you cue a start to what gear you're wearing or how you hold your body, everything sets the stage for what your dog expects. Wrapping up, our hosts discuss reinforcement zones, chasing toys vs food, and how where you reward matters just as much as what you reward. The bottom line? Clean, consistent mechanics help dogs learn faster and clearer. So, before you blame the dog, check your cues—clarity starts with you!

In this episode of Teach, Task Box, Inspire, we're talking all about reinforcement—what it is, what it isn't, and why getting it right really matters. I'm breaking down some of the most common mistakes we all make (yep, I've made them too!) and how these can actually make challenging behaviors stick around longer. Reinforcement isn't just about sticker charts or token boards—it's at the heart of why our students learn new skills or why tough behaviors keep showing up. I'll walk you through the science in simple terms, share real-life classroom (and personal) examples, and highlight the two biggest signs your system might not be working. If you've ever felt stuck with a behavior plan or wondered why your students aren't responding the way you hoped, this episode will give you fresh insight—and real strategies—you can start using right away.Resources Mentioned:Free training: 3 Simple and Powerful Ways to Cultivate Independence in Your Special Education Classroom Show Notes: https://chalkboardsuperhero.com/episode77

Horses are social animals with a strong herd instinct, and different rules apply when humans are involved. I teach what I call the “no fraternizing” rule at the beginning of all my clinics and here it is: When in the presence of humans, when being handled, led, tied, or ridden, a horse should not interact with, fraternize with, or make any displays of herd behavior toward another horse.

Customer experience leadership is not just about gathering insights—it's about securing genuine organizational buy-in. In this special episode of the Experience Action podcast, our host Jeannie Walters sits down with Sasha Fard, Country Lead for Customer Experience Management at Capital One Canada, to reveal the often-overlooked secret to successful CX implementation.Speaking from the bustling Medallia Experience 2025 event in Las Vegas, Fard dismantles the common misconception that actionable Voice of Customer data alone drives change. The real challenge? Getting cross-functional leaders to not just review customer feedback but commit to acting on it.What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Fard's practical approach to change management. Following ADKAR principles (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement), he demonstrates how CX professionals must transform themselves into skilled salespeople for their initiatives. "You need to be a good salesperson too," Fard advises, "because you're selling an idea, you're selling an approach." This means understanding stakeholder objectives, speaking their language, and showing how CX directly supports their goals—not overwhelming them with metrics and industry jargon.The most compelling takeaway? Start small, demonstrate value, and scale gradually. By securing incremental commitments rather than demanding wholesale change, CX leaders can build the credibility needed to expand their influence. This approach earned Capital One the Global CXPA Impact Award, recognizing their success in driving tangible business outcomes through customer experience initiatives.

This week we're starting a new series with Dr Susan Friedman. Susan is well known around the world for her very popular on-line course: How Behavior Works: Living & Learning With Animals). She has co-authored chapters on behavior change in five veterinary texts, and her popular articles have been translated into 17 languages. She shares many of those articles on her web site: behavior works.org It's a great resource for all of us who want to learn more about the natural science of behavior. Susan is a member of the clicker expo faculty. Her presentations at the March Clicker Expo prompted this conversation on schedules of reinforcement. In this first part Susan gets us all grounded in the subject with a review of the basics. As always, Susan makes clear what can often be confusing definitions and distinctions.

What to listen for:“You're constantly writing and rewriting a contract with your dog.”Today, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing tackle the power of consistency, the pitfalls of “lumpy” training, and why even small slip-ups can throw your dog off track. They break down how to build a rock-solid training environment and avoid the hidden traps that sabotage progress.“The clearer and more predictable you are, the faster your dog will learn.”Our hosts swap real-life stories about cue associations—the good, the bad, and the hilarious. From verbal missteps to accidental signals, they reveal how tiny inconsistencies can shape (or derail) your dog's responses. Whether you're training a pet or a working dog, clear communication is everything.“Inconsistent timing leads to inconsistent outcomes.”And for the sport and search-and-rescue trainers out there, this episode digs deep into the power of precision and clarity when it comes to reinforcing behaviors. The Dames of Detection challenge quick-fix mentalities, explore discipline-specific mindsets, and make the case for mastering the mechanics that take training to the next level.

Today on SPEAK! A Dogcast, we ask a question that so many dog owners want and need to know, What is Reinforcement? We also teach owners that tone and communication is an important part of dog training in a segment called Don't Be Mean, Just Mean It. Then comes The History of Animal Mascots 101 featuring the University of New Mexico and Listener Q&A! You're in for a real treat!

Continuing on in our FBA-BIP mini-series, we're at Step 10! This week, we're tackling one of the most important steps in behavior intervention planning—choosing the right replacement behavior. Just reducing problem behavior isn't enough; we have to actively teach what to do instead in a way that's functional, motivating, and sustainable.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood concepts in behavior... positive reinforcement. It's a term that gets tossed around, misunderstood, and sometimes weaponized through welfare-washing. But the science? It's clear. Reinforcement exists, but it may not mean what you think it means - and especially when you see it being used in marketing!

Are you convinced the market is too crowded to gain traction with your expertise?  In this “Life After Corporate” episode, host Deb Boulanger talks with LinkedIn thought leader Ellen Melko Moore, who reveals her approach to “niching up” and creating a distinctive message that magnetizes high-paying clients. Using her trademark “Bitch Slap of Truth,” Ellen challenges conventional thinking by urging entrepreneurs to specialize more precisely, offer genuine value, and transform standard outreach into genuine industry leadership. Discover how a targeted audience, a precise problem statement, and an unmistakable message can open vast new opportunities.  Will you claim your own specialized territory and seize the chance to multiply your revenue?    [00:05- 12:07]  Introducing “Niching Up” and the “Bitch Slap of Truth” “Niching up” is presented as a paradoxical approach to finding a more lucrative, specialized audience. The “Bitch Slap of Truth” is a bold messaging strategy that confronts an audience's core assumptions. You need expert service providers to narrow your focus rather than attempting to serve everyone. Clarification that refining your audience and message leads to higher-quality engagement and fees.       [12:08 -22:10]  The Holy Trinity of Branding Breakdown of the three essential elements: target client, problem solved, and solution articulation. Demonstration that effective brand messaging must challenge prevailing assumptions in the marketplace. Importance of using straightforward, memorable language to capture a potential client's attention. Reminder that stepping into a specialized market can elevate credibility and allow for premium pricing     [22:11 - 33:15]   Crafting the Perfect Bitch Slap of Truth Message The “Bitch Slap of Truth” as a direct challenge to the audience's most common misconceptions. How a fresh and even provocative idea (e.g., “abs are made in the kitchen”) quickly differentiates an expert. Reinforcement that prospective clients must see the immediate cost of doing things the old way. Caution against overused buzzwords; messages should offer genuinely new perspectives.   [33:16 - 45:12]  Leveraging LinkedIn for Authority Viewing a personal LinkedIn profile not as a résumé but as a dynamic testing ground for new messaging. Tips on highlighting useful content rather than merely listing credentials. Assurance that frequent profile tweaks and updates go largely unnoticed by others and allow for experimentation. Reminder that most content on LinkedIn is bland, so innovative “bitch slap” messaging stands out.   Connect with Ellen  Website: www.supertightlinkedin.com LinkedIn: Ellen@SupertightLinkedIn.com  Get Your Free Bitch Slap Worksheet:                                                                                                            https://supertight-brand.aweb.page/p/a88c83ff-c0ea-4eb7-ad4f-53415ab42763   Interested in finding out more about THE DAMES:                                            ? https://www.thedames.co/a/2147547759/oeAQjtj3   Ready to turn insights into action?

As the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus observed, “The only constant in life is change.” While change in our personal and professional lives is inevitable, adapting to it can be difficult and often leads to feelings of resistance. When it comes to organizational change initiatives, the ADKAR® model – which stands for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability and Reinforcement – is renowned for guiding successful change, beginning at the individual level.  As a senior fellow at Prosci, the leading global change management research and training organization that developed the ADKAR model, Karen Ball has been helping individuals and organizations implement effective changes and achieve benefits not thought possible for over 40 years. Karen is an ACMP-certified Change Management Professional, a certified IDEO Design Thinking practitioner, and the author of Prosci's latest publication, “The ADKAR Advantage: Your New Lens for Successful Change.” In addition to her role as an executive instructor, Karen continues to develop Prosci offerings and engage with clients as a change advisor, working with organizations such as UNICEF, Wells Fargo, Bose Corporation, and Dow Chemical. In Episode 228 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Karen shares the following:  An overview of the ADKAR model and examples of how it might manifest in different contexts, as well as how it relates to the communication and training processes involved in organizational change initiatives Tips for individuals who may be resistant to proposed changes, as well as techniques their leaders can use to support them How ADKAR functions as a sense-making and way-finding tool that can help create a sense of calm and clarity for both individuals and organizations navigating complex change Why it's crucial for leaders to go through their own ADKAR journeys, as well as key steps that leaders must take in order to be effective sponsors of change   To connect with Karen, find her on LinkedIn, or visit https://www.prosci.com to learn more about the ADKAR model and explore other resources.

Send us a textWhat if the mysteries of consciousness and the universe are more connected than we ever imagined? Esteemed physicist and author George Musser joins me, Michelle McElhoun, on Crossword for an enlightening conversation that explores the fascinating intersection of physics, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Musser shares his insights into why physicists are increasingly drawn to these fields, suggesting they may hold the key to a unified understanding of our universe. Drawing from his book "Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation," Musser provides a compelling narrative on bridging the gap between mind and matter, urging listeners to reconsider the role of the observer in quantum physics and the humble perspective we occupy in the vast cosmos.Our discussion ventures into the complexities of neural networks and their potential implications for understanding human intelligence and consciousness. Musser compares these networks to intricate webs of tiny switches, processing information in ways that challenge traditional computing models. We explore theories like integrated information theory, which propose that certain neural networks might theoretically possess consciousness due to their sophisticated feedback loops, and examine how these loops mirror the human brain's intricate systems. Musser emphasizes the engineering challenges these concepts present, while also highlighting their potential to revolutionize our understanding of both artificial and natural cognitive processes.Curiosity and free will take center stage as we discuss their roles in human and machine learning. Reinforcement learning emerges as a fascinating example of how curiosity drives both humans and AI to persist through challenges without immediate rewards. Musser reflects on philosophical tensions between deterministic laws and the human experience of free will, drawing on his own life experiences to enrich the conversation. We wrap up by considering how AI might enhance our self-knowledge and deepen our understanding of human nature, inviting listeners to explore George Musser's work further and ponder the profound mysteries of consciousness.

Today you'll hear from Vicki Campos-Dimmer about her career in Change Management. Her transition into change management came at a critical juncture in her career. Coming off a recent downsizing of her department, as part of an organizational restructuring, Vicki did a deep dive into her desire and career aspirations to remain in the communication profession. She was very interested in expanding her skillset and had recently explored project management as a potential profession. In researching other potential career paths for someone with her background, she happened to discover change management.While exploring different career options that align with her background, she stumbled upon change management. The mix of communication, instructional design, training, and project management caught her eye. She saw it as a chance to use her 15+years of experience and at the same time, learn new things and grow in a direction she had never tried before. This unique combo gave Vicki the ability to use her skills and improve herself personally and professionally. One of the most significant factors in her successful transition to change management was working with a career coach. A career coach is much more than a resume writer, they can provide invaluable guidance to help identify your strengths and weaknesses, develop a career plan, and navigate the job search process. They also provided emotional support and accountability during many challenging times through the job search process and career transition. For anyone considering a career change, Vicki encourages you to consider working with a career coach. They can help you define your career goals, develop a strategy for achieving them, and overcome the obstacles that may arise along the way. With the right support, you can successfully transition to a new and rewarding career in change management. Vicki has been a change management consultant for the past 7 years and worked with many clients across various industries, helping them navigate organizational changes such as mergers, acquisitions, and technological transformations. She learned the importance of understanding stakeholders' needs, effectively communicating change initiatives, managing resistance to change, and building a culture of transparency, open communication, and adaptability. For newcomers interested in pursuing a career in change management, Vicki highly recommends seeking out helpful resources and exploring the certification program that best fits your needs. The Prosci Change Practitioner certification is one of the most well-recognized. However, there are others that can also help you demonstrate your commitment to the field.

What to listen for:In today's episode of K9 Detection Collaborative, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing discuss the keys to cleaning up your dog's behavior chain to help them stay on track and avoid distractions in the field.When it comes to reinforcing behavior, it's just as important to get clear on when not to train particular habits. Their rule of thumb? Avoid reinforcing tactics during moments of frustration in your dog. It's important to be systematic when training for search & rescue scenarios, setting clear boundaries and expectations for your dog, all while respecting their autonomy so that they can make snap decisions with confidence in high-stakes situations.With Deb Jones's Focus Unified Field Theory as their guide, the Dames of Detection navigate the complexities of canine focus in four areas—external, self, trainer, and task focuses. Understanding these focus types is crucial for managing distractions and maintaining a dog's attention during challenging search tasks.They dive into strategies that build a strong reinforcement system, allowing dogs to handle complex searches without becoming overwhelmed. They also explain why it's crucial to actively train blank areas with the intention of striking a balance between engagement and overwhelm for both handler and dog.Finally, Robin, Stacy, and Crystal define “self-employing” actions, and why it's a good idea to steer clear from reinforcing such behaviors, as well as the keys to nurturing understanding when building on and optimizing your dog's behavior chain.Key Topics:Why You Shouldn't Try Reinforcing Behaviors During Moments of Frustration (00:00)Systematic Searching and Maintaining Your Dog's Autonomy (05:51)When and When Not to Praise Your Dog (10:53)Four Types of Focus (17:52)The Importance of Actively Training Blank Areas (25:50)“Don't Reinforce Them For Self-Employing” (29:30)Building the Desire to do the Job Right (35:13)Building Understanding (41:03)Dames of Detection Takeaways (50:48)Resources:Deb Jones and the F.O.C.U.S Dog Training System: https://k9infocus.com/shiny-new-thoughts-on-focus/ | https://k9infocus.com/Join Robin for her winter webinar series!FENZI WebinarsFENZI CampWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

In the third and final installment of the Understanding Reinforcement series, Sarah tackles natural and contrived contingencies. The natural contingency driving your dog's behavior is important for you to know about and leverage. Many natural contingencies are about avoidance, while our contrived contingencies tend to be about acquisition. Superimposing acquisition contingencies on top of avoidance contingencies often fails, but we can still be effective reward-based practitioners if we understand these processes. https://sarahstremming.com/products/ Sign up for courses and join the membership here: https://cogdogclassroom.mykajabi.com/ Join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cogdogradio Music by AlexGrohl from Pixabay
