Summary

What Information We'll Cover

Feedback plays a central role in learning, professional development, and workplace performance. Yet many early career behavior analysts receive little formal preparation for providing feedback to other adults or responding effectively to feedback about their own performance. As a result, supervisory interactions can become uncomfortable, overly corrective, or ineffective.

This course examines feedback from a behavioral perspective, emphasizing how learning history, environmental contingencies, and interpersonal relationships influence how feedback is experienced and whether it produces behavior change. Participants will explore why feedback may acquire aversive properties, how those experiences affect supervisory relationships, and what supervisors can do to establish more supportive conditions for feedback exchanges.

Participants will also learn practical strategies for delivering behavior-specific feedback, structuring informal conversations, and communicating performance expectations. The course introduces the Prism Method for structuring feedback and examines common misconceptions that interfere with effective feedback practices.

Importantly, effective supervision requires the ability to receive and solicit feedback, not simply deliver it. Participants will explore strategies for responding constructively to corrective feedback, asking for input, and developing the communication practices needed to support continuous improvement.
