Webinars
Our upcoming webinar, Diversion Control: Recordkeeping Methodology to Minimize Risk with Controlled Substances, will be on January 27, 2021 from 12:00 to 1:30 pm CT.
This webinar will help you:
- Manage controlled substances in your facility
- Avoid risks of drug diversion
- Minimize risk in a DOE inspection
The next webinar, Behavioral Training in Laboratory Animals: Effects of Patterns of Reinforcement, will be on February 24, 2021 from 12:00 to 1:30 pm CT.
The speaker will address standard schedules of reinforcement, that is, how often, how frequently, and when a consequence is provided for a behavior, and these affect how often an animal produces a goal or "anti-goal" behavior.
A reinforcer can be:
- Granted for every incident of the goal behavior (continuous reinforcement)
- Given for some presentations of the goal behavior (partial reinforcement), or
- Withheld for all presentations of the goal behavior (extinction)
