SUMMARY:ABACLive Webinar with Dr. Eduardo J. Fernandez
DESCRIPTION:Presented through the ABACLive Cambridge Center Series. Helping those who help others\, one live webinar at a time. \nDr. Eduardo J. Fernandez presents “Animal Training as Environmental Enrichment: An Evidence-Focused Approach”\nWednesday\, February 8\, 2023\n6:00 pm – 8:00 pm (Eastern/NY) \nThis event is FREE for the general public.* Or available for a discounted price with: \n\n0.2 IACET CEUs: (Who recognizes IACET Accreditation)\n2.0 BACB CEUs Learning\n2.0 APA Credit Hours- Content Area Level: Introductory\n\nRegister on ABAC Website – FREE (NO CEs) \nRegister on ABAC Website to Earn Continuing Education \nAbstract \nAnimal training and environmental enrichment are both important advancements associated with current behavioral welfare practices. Additionally\, the use of training procedures has been proposed as a form of enrichment\, with the implication that training can produce beneficial behavioral welfare results. Less clear are the specific testable ways in which training can be demonstrated to be enriching. In other words\, how does training improve (i.e. enrich) the lives of the animals being trained? \nIn this two-hour workshop\, Dr. Eduardo Fernandez will provide a foundation about the science behind the idea that training can be enriching. He will also describe applied animal behavior (AAB) work and how behavioral principles can be used to study such animal-\, training-\, and enrichment-related phenomena. \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the end of this event\, participants should be able to: \n\n\nIdentify the history of behavior analysis applied to both animal training and environmental enrichment.\nCompare and contrast the three ways training can be shown to be enriching (three testable hypotheses).\nList and evaluate three ways that would allow us to further study this phenomenon.\n\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Eduardo J. Fernandez \nEduardo J. Fernandez is a Senior Lecturer of Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare in the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Adelaide (Australia). He received his Ph.D. in Psychology (minors in Neuroscience and Animal Behavior) from Indiana University\, where he worked with the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Zoo. He received his M.S. in Behavior Analysis from the University of North Texas\, where he founded the Organization for Reinforcement Contingencies with Animals (ORCA). Most of his past and current work involves behavioral research applied to the welfare and training of zoo\, aquarium\, and companion animals. His past positions include a Visiting Professorship in the Psychology Department at Seattle Pacific University\, a Visiting Professorship in the School of Behavior Analysis at the Florida Institute of Technology\, an Affiliate Assistant Professorship in the Psychology Department at the University of Washington\, a Research Fellowship with Woodland Park Zoo\, and a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. While working with UW and the Woodland Park Zoo\, he started the Behavioral Enrichment Animal Research (BEAR) group\, which conducted welfare research with many of the species and exhibits located throughout the zoo. He currently runs the Operant Welfare Lab (OWL)\, which is dedicated to the use of learning principles to improve the lives of animals across many settings\, including exotic animals in zoos and companion animals in homes and shelters. OWL is also part of the broader Animal Behaviour\, Welfare\, and Anthrozoology Lab (ABWAL; abwal.com). Many of Eduardo’s past publications\, research projects\, and presentations can be found on his ResearchGate profile: https://www.researchgate.net/p… \n*This event is FREE for the general public.
