Reflect Module 7:

In your reflection paper for this module, put together a potential reinforcer array that you could use in an organizational setting. Include at least 10 items/experiences that you would include, and keep the budget below ~$20 for each. Why did you select these items/experiences? What variables discussed in this week's lecture did you take into consideration when making these selections?

Module 7, Part 1: Introduction

Welcome to Module 7: Preferences and Reinforcers!

This module will discuss common challenges associated with determining what staff want to work for, and provide a structure for creating categories of reinforcers based upon the non-profit literature. Additionally, countless different forms of reinforcers will be shared, along with a review of the literature associated with best practices in staff preference assessment. Finally, an emphasis will be made on the idea of moving beyond contrived reinforcers to creating work environments that eliminate the role of aversive control as an essential component of leadership behavior.

Upon successful completion of this module, learners should be able to:

· Identify common errors made by leaders when selecting potential reinforcers for staff

· Determine the role of non-contingent reinforcement in business and the issues associated with it

· Identify issues related to asking staff about their potential reinforcers and strategies for overcoming those issues

· Determine what CARE (Daniels & Bailey, 2014) stands for when selecting potential reinforcers

· Identify the number and outcomes of current non-monetary reinforcer studies in ABA/OBM literature

· Select reasons that leaders should consider using non-monetary reinforcers in the workplace

· Differentiate between examples of social, tangible, work-related, engineered, and monetary reinforcers 

· Determine appropriate preference assessment strategies, including how and how often preferences should be assessed

· Select the steps of the Task Enjoyment Motivation Protocol and other strategies for increasing enjoyment of work beyond contrived reinforcers
