<Intro to Learning examined the work of B.F. Skinner, 0:00:45.345,0:00:49.849 who is widely regarded as the psychologist responsible for the science behind ABA. 0:00:50.316,0:00:53.319 For example, positive reinforcement is commonly used 0:00:53.319,0:00:56.322 to help shape daily life skills such as washing hands 0:00:56.356,0:00:59.359 or helping them effectively communicate what they need. 0:00:59.359,0:01:03.463 I strongly feel that my PFW experiences, especially being a teaching assistant 0:01:03.463,0:01:07.300 and research assistant, contributed to my success as an effective 0:01:07.300,0:01:10.837 leader, trainer, and team member in my various job roles. 0:01:11.171,0:01:12.639 But even more importantly, 0:01:12.639,0:01:15.708 they helped me play an active role in changing an individual's life. 0:01:16.176,0:01:21.181 I can't change the world, but I get a chance to change a person's life daily.
