Episode 276 - Concurrent Chains Arrangement

Somehow we've made it nearly 300 episodes without actually talking about concurrent chains arrangement specifically. I mean, we've talked about measuring assent, preferences for treatments, chaining, and concurrent schedules. Finally, all the great tastes that go great together in one episode! But where did the concurrent chains arrangement come from? And how might such a procedure be used to assess preference for different treatment types? Does it work for everyone? I pity the fool that misses this podcast episode. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Catania, A.C. & Sagvolden, T. (1980).
