Episode 297 - Matching Law

Episode 297 - Matching Law

Despite being a cornerstone of the science of behavior, we've gone nearly 300 episodes without ever really delving into the details of the matching law. Maybe it's because it involves too many equations. Maybe it's because a lot of the research seems to focus exclusively on choice in basketball shots. In any case we're getting every up to speed on the basics of the matching law and its importance in studying choice. Plus, Rob has spicy hot takes. Sweet sassy mo-lassy!

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
