How long will I have access to a CEU module?

Your access to a module does not expire or have a time limit. Generally, modules will remain available for as long as you keep your CEUniverse account. For example, you could purchase a CEU module today, but not complete it until 5 years later. The completion date on your certificate of completion will be based on when you actually complete the module (and not your purchase date). On rare occasions we may need to remove a module if it becomes outdated or if there are licensing issues. In such cases, we will notify you of the change in advance.

What kind of proof of completion will I receive?

You will be able to download a certificate of completion immediately upon completion of a module. You can also download a CEU transcript from the myLearning dashboard that documents all of the CEU modules you have completed on CEUniverse.

How do I access the CEU modules I’ve purchased?

Any learning modules you purchase can be accessed from the myLearning dashboard .

Can I repeat a module for CEUs?

No (at least not for recertification purposes). Although you are certainly welcome to repeat a CEU module you have already completed on CEUniverse, it cannot count toward recertification twice because it does not serve the goal of expanding your knowledge or skills.

Can I get a refund if I don't like a module?

Yes, we issue refunds for our modules within 30 days of the original purchase of the product. You are eligible for full reimbursement only if you have not completed the module. Please contact us for assistance if you experience any issues accessing or using our modules.

Is CEUniverse approved to offer CEUs?

Yes! CEUniverse has been approved by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® to offer continuing education for BCBAs and BCaBAs since 2010 (#OP-10-2021). From 2010 to 2023 were we approved under the name of our parent company, FoxyLearning. You may also be able to use our modules for other purposes or credentialing agencies by asking them. We are happy to work with you to produce a custom certificate of completion if you need it.

Description

To earn credit, you will be required to read the article and pass a 13-question quiz about it. You can retake the quiz as many times as needed, but you will not receive exactly the same questions each time.

Abstract

The present paper examines the relationship between the development of moral behavior and the development of verbal regulatory processes. Relational frame theory and the distinctions among pliance, tracking, and augmenting forms of rule governance are applied to the domain of moral behavior and its development, in order to identify the specific social and verbal contingencies that are responsible for an evolving moral repertoire. It is argued that moral behavior is controlled by relational and rule-following repertoires, and that these can be arranged into a rough progression: pliance, tracking, augmenting, social concern for pliance, social concern for tracking, and social concern for augmenting. Congruence with data derived from other research traditions is examined, and applied implications are explored.

To be honest, I thought this was incredibly overwritten. For a scientific article that is supposed to be ABA, they extrapolated a lot and made a lot of assumptions.

It took a few reads to get the terminology down but it was an interesting concept.

It was very beneficial learning how the place-tracking-augmenting theory compares with the Kohlbetg’s stages of moral development.

The “course” consisted of reading an article and answering questions. Not anything I couldn’t do for free. Disappointing.

I'm sorry you did not enjoy this module (we do not call anything on our site a "course"). The content and format should not have been a surprise, however, as this module is in a category called "Article Quizzes" and the beginning of the description of the product is "Read the following article and pass a 13-question quiz on it..." We try to be very transparent about what each module is. In addition, we think it's valuable for BCBAs to read the research literature and earn CEUs for verifying that they did this (e.g., by passing a quiz) and many of our customers agree. It's okay if you disagree, but if you do, I definitely would not recommend purchasing any more modules from our "Article Quizzes" category. You may prefer modules in our "Interactive Videos" and "Multimedia Tutorials" categories.

This is one of the most excessive uses of the over-complication of a behavior analytic subject. Why can't we all just get on board with stimulus equivalence and call it a day?
