08-21/05/2006	1. Workshop on Positive Reinforcement Training of Non-Human Primates within Network Activity 3 The workshop at the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control in Stockholm consists of two parts: Part 1 - Discrimination level workshop - Teaching fundamental principles of applied behavior analysis; mechanical skills (timing); developing observing skills; training philosophy. Part 2 - Criteria-Cueing level workshop - Teach applied behavior analytic procedures; plan simple training tasks; evaluate behavior; establish reinforcement criteria for simple cued and non-cued behaviors.
