What This Document Is
This document outlines the reading assignment and accompanying guided reading questions for Unit Two of BEH 5041, Introduction to Concepts and Principles of Behavior Analysis at Florida Institute of Technology. It serves as a study aid to help students prepare for a Reading Check assessment.
Why This Document Matters
This resource is essential for students enrolled in BEH 5041. It bridges assigned textbook chapters with focused questions, reinforcing key concepts before a graded assessment. Successful completion of the guided reading questions is directly linked to performance on the Reading Check, which draws questions *from* these questions. It’s designed for use *while* reading the assigned material, not as a replacement for it.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document does not provide answers to the guided reading questions; it *requires* students to actively engage with the assigned readings to formulate those answers. It also doesn’t offer comprehensive explanations of the concepts – it’s a tool to pinpoint information *within* the source texts. This is not a substitute for completing the full reading assignment.
What This Document Provides
This document includes:
* A list of specific chapters and page ranges from two required textbooks: *Applied Behavior Analysis* by Cooper, Heron, & Heward (2020) and *Behavior Analysis and Learning* by Pierce & Cheney (2017).

* Instructions clarifying that the Reading Check will be based on these questions, using the student’s recorded answers as a benchmark.

It does *not* include: answers to the guided reading questions, summaries of the textbook chapters, or any additional content beyond what is listed above.
