As more and more behavior analysts spread out from private clinics into the world of public school education, it becomes pretty obvious how little most of us know about the needs and challe...

Sure, I bet we can all think of a concept. But could you define exactly what a "concept" is? What it isn't? How about teach a concept? This week Dr. Catherine Williams joins us to look at the concept of concepts using both behavior analytic terminology and some fun, experimental behavioral research. Because making up rules about what defines the concept of a fancy triangle doesn't always cut it. And becaus...

As the summer weather turns its bright face towards New England, we find ourselves wrapping up another year of book club...just in time to start planning for NEXT YEAR'S BOOK CLUB!! Get your phone loaded with all the podcasts you need for the beach with this month's new episodes. First, we open up a themed grab bag with articles all related to participants with dual-diagnoses. Then we dig into the details ...

While "just the facts" might be one way to ask questions, it's certainly not the ONLY way. And, if you're not careful, your interviewing style could get you all the wrong answers. This week we're joined by Dr. Ray Joslyn to discuss ALL the behavior analytic research there is on forensic interviewing. Is it the way we ask the questions or our responses to answers that influence accuracy the most? Are childr...

A few years back, we contributed a book chapter on non-traditional options for disseminating behavior analysis with Matt Cicoria where we became slightly enamored with the idea of communities of practice as a means for knowledge sharing. Well, thanks to our amazing listeners on Patreon, that topic is back and with a full episode. We look at how to create a community of practice, whether the idea actually l...

While Rob gets his Jedi robes back from the cleaners, let's take a moment for some fun chats, listener comments, and a preview of what's coming up this month on ABA Inside Track. First we open the Book Club vault to release last year's discussion of Jenara Nerenberg's female neurodiversity exploration, "Divergent Mind", the book that may have saved Diana and Rob's marriage (at least in the sense that they ...

Though the Beatles remind us to get by with a little help from my friends, is there really any hard evidence to back their assertion up? This week we look into the data to determine whether the use of peer behavior and prompting is actually a worthwhile intervention. We explore how peers could support the occurence of social initiations, compliance with teacher instructions, and removal of attention-rich r...

As behavior analysis pursues more opportunities to meaningfully ally with the neurodiversity movement, we need to ensure we're doing more than just playing lip service to those seeking additional supports by improving our listening. But how can you listen for assent without good communication skills? This week we are joined by Armando Bernal to explore how PECS may provide a more robust inroads to collabor...

While not an episode about nicotene withdrawal, this week we're talking all about research describing the phenomenon of relapse. Or is it renewal? Resurgence? All of the above? Basically any situation in which behavior, once thought removed from a repertoire, comes screaming back into reality...

Thank you for being a behavior analyst.

Travel to your clients house and back again.

Your functional contextualism is true. You're a scientist who builds rapport.

And if you ran discrete trials, invited everyone you knew

You would see the greatest responding would be from me

And the consequence would be my saying

Thank you for being a behavior analyst.

This week we're going back to the widget factory with a discussion of OBM research related to public posting. But don't worry: You can use this feedback technique anywhere and everywhere! From the classroom to the auto plant to the bicycle track, we review the research to see if this visual feedback technique is worth the tape needed to hang the data on the wall. And, even more important, if the folks whos...
