Episode 319 - (Summer 2025 Listener Choice) Factors Influencing the Efficiency of Acquisition

Teaching new skills is a lot of fun. But sometimes it seems to take forever. And since we all only have so much time to learn everything needed to maximize access to reinforcement in our lives, we don't really have the luxury of time to mess about. So, in good behavior analyst fashion, we look for a better way to min-max our learning activities. Thanks to our awesome patrons, we're talking about increasing the efficiency of skill acquisition through preference assessment, choice, , and reinforcement timing. So many options, but which ones actually matter when it comes to running the most efficient teaching sessions?
