Episode 266 - Error Correction

Making mistakes isn't all bad. Unless those mistakes result in faulty stimulus control during skill acquisition. But, fret not, this week we dive into some of the options available as you craft your programs to respond to errors in a way to maximize learnining efficiency while taking the preferences of your client into account. Basically, how to teach the fastest while being the least annoying. And does correcting errors actually work better than avoiding them? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
