Cognitive Revolution | The shift in the field of psychology from studying only stimulus-response behavior to include the study of mental processes (Cognitivism) may cross over to other fields, such as those involving animal behavior. This course covers the paradigm shift in psychology, starting with an overview of the philosophical roots and some of the more influential personalities of behaviorism and then cognitive psychology. From this historical perspective, it will become clear why cognitive psychology arose only in the last 50 years. We will also explore major advantages and disadvantages of each approach to the study of psychology. | |

Terry Ryan Click-a-Chick |
APDT Conference APDT |
The objective was to train a chicken. As the course states, training is an art, a science and a mechanical skill. Thus the course worked on the basics of good training for any animal: timing, criteria and the rate of reinforcement. Chickens are alot quicker than dogs. |
| 2009-10-23 to 2009-10-23 |
Joshua Leeds and Lisa Spector Through a Dog’s Ear: The Effect of Human Soundscap |
APDT Conference | An exploratory seminar where the results of an extensive literature review are presented. In addition to auditory, we examined the visual, olfactory, taste, and kinesthetic domains. We looked into sensory confusion, orienting responses, intermittent sensory input and lack of patterns, sympathetic overdrive, and the action/reaction response. The goal is to inspire deeper consideration of the role of sensory overload and how an overwhelmed nervous system can lead to diminished immune function |

Jenn Merritt, CPDT Tellington TTouch in the Canine Classroom: Applications |
APDT Conference | Dogs face many challenges in the classroom from visual stimulation to leash frustration that create arousal and anxiety. Integration elements of Tellington TTouch into dog training classes can be a valuable tool for helping dogs to calm, focus, and excel at learning. By working pressure points in and around the ears, face/mouth, and hindquarters, handlers can learn to pinpoint areas of tension in their dogs and release it through touch.This can also have a dramatic effect on different pieces of training equipment such as head and front-clip harnesses and why each might be useful in example situations. |

Denise Mullenix Evaluation of Constructional Aggression Treatment |
APDT Conference | Differential negative reinforcement of successive approximations to alternative behavior procedures is becoming more prevalent for changing aggressive behaviors in dogs. A new protocol called Constructional Aggression Treatment (CAT) was developed and is based on research by Kellie Snider and Dr. Jesus Rosales-Ruiz. CAT uses operant conditioning to shape a dog’s behavior in order to produce a subsequent emotional change in the dog. It is suggested that trainers stick with the process until the subject dog quits offering distance increasing behaviors and starts offering distance decreasing behaviors, referred to as the “switch-over.” |
