Episode 254: Dr. Claire St Peter Pt 5: Define Environment

This is the fifth and final part of our conversation with Dr Claire St Peter. Claire is a behavior analyst. She teachers At West Virginia University where she has recently taken on a new role. She is now Chair of the department of behavior analysis.

We have been down in the weeds considering the definitions of words both trainers and behavior analysts use on a regular basis. We started in Part 1 of our conversation (episode 248) by asking: what is shaping? Last week we asked: what is behavior? And now we are asking: how do you define environment. The answer begins with a surprise.
