In this episode, we look at the transformative power of behavior analysis positioned as a selection science, in tackling prevalent educational issues. Drawing upon the profound insights from the article, "Breaking the Structuralist Barrier", we discuss the principles of selectionism and explore how the principles have been actualized in the Morningside Model of Generative Instruction, a behavioral program with remarkable results on adult literacy and children's learning and attention issues. We review Morningside curricula, analyzing their key component elements and foundational tool skills. We also dive into teaching methodologies that focus on fostering component behaviors to achieve fluency, culminating in the emergence of new and complex repertoires often with minimal instruction.  To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!

Cognitive psychology and the Cognitive Load Theory are explained through a behavior-analytic perspective. Cognitive Load Theory posits that working memory has a limited capacity, much like a bucket that can only hold so much water before it overflows. But how does the theory fare when we delve into it through the lens of behavior analysis? In the conversation, we discuss the behavior-analytic interpretations of cognitive load, offering insights into how our environment and learning experiences can shape the way our cognitive 'bucket' gets filled. We also shed light on how educators and individuals can leverage an understanding of cognitive load from a behavior analytic standpoint to optimize learning and task performance.

"The Steep and Thorny Way to a Science of Behavior" by B.F. Skinner presents a fascinating exploration of the challenges and importance of developing a science of behavior. Skinner discusses several challenges in developing a science of behavior such as digression (defined as the tendency to get sidetracked from the study of behavior by other fields such as philosophy or theology). Additionally, Skinner raises questions about the nature and location of the observer or "knower" in relation to the organism being studied. The podcast reviews Skinner's article and provides an exploration of the challenges involved in developing a science of behavior in contemporary times.

Respondent conditioning, also known as classical conditioning, is a type of learning where an unconditioned response becomes associated with a neutral stimulus and acquires the ability to elicit a response like that of the unconditioned response. Today, respondent conditioning is used in various fields, including psychology, education, and marketing. In psychology, it is used to treat anxiety disorders, phobias, and other emotional disturbances. In education, respondent conditioning is used to help students learn new behaviors or habits. Overall, respondent conditioning is a powerful tool for understanding and modifying behavior, and its applications are vast and diverse.     To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!

Science could be described as the search to understanding variability. Variability shows up in graphs and charts shows the analyst different features of the behavior. From stability to variability, understanding the sources of control and the degree to which a behavior varies is a key to understanding environment-behavior relations. The standard celeration chart permits an analyst to quantify variability as well as see it in a different light when compared to a visual display on a linear graph. 10x-ing outcomes involves examining variability on a standard ratio graph.

One of the hallmarks of visual analysis is trend. Trend refers to the direction of data as it changes across time. A trend line is often superimposed on a data set which behavior analysts then interpret. However, if the data are placed on a standard celeration chart a trend line is transformed to a celebration line. The celeration line quantified how fast a behavior is changing. The quantified line allows an objective evaluation of not only the direction but the precise numeric growth or decay rate of a behavior. Discussion surrounding the benefits to clinical work and research with a quantified trend line is discussed.    To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!

Most behavior analysts use a linear graph, meaning it has equal intervals on the horizontal and vertical axis. Ratio graphs have equal intervals on the horizontal axis but a multiple/divide axis on the vertical axis. The ratio graph permits the quantification of all behavior change features. For example, level can be quantified with different means (e.g., arithmetic, geometric) or medians. When placed on a ratio graph the metrics then can be examined with a view to ratios and multiple/divide changes as contrasted with add/subtract absolute changes. The podcast discusses the technical features of different graphs and the clinical and research functions level can have.

In 1993 Alfie's Kohn's Punished by Rewards (PBR) was published. The book claimed that behavioral principles and procedures manipulated people and destroyed the potential for authentic learning. The publication of PBR was met with enthusiasm by many in the educational and psychological fields. However, PBR contains many misrepresentations of positive reinforcement and punishment. Furthermore, the solutions offered in PBR are poorly aligned with robust procedures designed to change behavior proactively and reactively. The present episode discusses Kohn's treatise, highlights several claims made in the book, the impact it has had on teachers, clinicians, and businesses, as well as practical solutions for interacting with people who may be PBR adherents.

CentralReach “ABA On Call” Season 4 Ep. 7 - Revisiting Kohn and Punished by Rewards

Conspiracy theories are verbal behavior that states some covert yet influential organization holds responsibility for a specific circumstance or event (e.g., the government collapsed the Twin Towers in the 9/11 attacks). Conspiracy theories have become mainstream, finding prominent adherents from politicians and news pundits to celebrities and bloggers. The conspiracy theory itself is not directly dangerous, but the advice or rule-governed behavior that proceeds can have pernicious effects. In autism treatment, the conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism has penetrated parents and even some behavior analysts. In the following episode, we discuss the definition of conspiracy theories, provide examples in ABA, and how we can guard against them in our lives and deal with others who have them.

Conspiracy theories are verbal behavior that states some covert yet influential organization holds responsibility for a specific circumstance or event (e.g., the government collapsed the Twin Towers in the 9/11 attacks). Conspiracy theories have become mainstream, finding prominent adherents from politicians and news pundits to celebrities and bloggers. The conspiracy theory itself is not directly dangerous, but the advice or rule-governed behavior that proceeds can have pernicious effects. In autism treatment, the conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism has penetrated parents and even some behavior analysts. In the following episode, we discuss the definition of conspiracy theories, provide examples in ABA, and how we can guard against them in our lives and deal with others who have them.

Clay Starlin has been a champion of effective measurement and instructional technologies. He did pioneering work in the 70s and 80s bringing precision teaching to the forefront of education. He has spent his career contributing and refining concepts and methods involved with the science of learning. Clay has recently published a book called “weaving love and science in education” that captures blending of two important comments of human society: love and science. While the two might seem disconnected, when applied to education and people they both help form the basis for a compassionate, highly effective method for teaching students and fostering incredible learning environments. NOTE -This episode will not be eligible for CEUs.

Description: For teachers, parents, or any other professional looking for the science of behavior change and learning, look no further! Weaving Love and Science into Educational Practice offers a practical, proven method for measuring behavior, understanding what the data means at a high level of precision, and suggesting ways to improve outcomes. But beyond the science involved in learning, there is love. Love may seem like a bold word to juxtapose with science but as compassionate humans dedicated to helping students of all stripes, caring, and a passion for exercising humanity is integral for meaningful change. And sandwiched in-between science and love, readers will encounter a plethora of sound interventions to support learning. This book will delight all readers who wish to use science for the betterment of their fellow humans.

The measurement, visual display, analysis, and reliability of data are all hallmarks in a process behavior analysts use to understand the import of data. Yet research has demonstrated stark differences between options for the measurement/analysis process. First, discontinuous observation and continuous observation can lead to different datasets. All instances of discontinuous observation will have measurement error, and the limitations are discussed. The observed data visually displayed on linear or ratio graphs can likewise produce vastly different patterns of data. And ratio graphs provide quantification absent in linear graphs - the differences can lead analysis and subsequent decision making down different paths. And last, the accuracy with which one records data is contrasted in IOA and Accuracy measures. The difference between the two are discussed and all three components of the measurement process are debated.

Skinner's prolific writing focused on important theoretical and philosophical content later in his career. In his article "What's wrong with life in the Western world?" Skinner describes five practices that have corrupted contingencies of reinforcement that came about through evolution. The pleasing effects are seen in practices such as "(a) alienating workers from the consequences of their work, (b) helping those who are capable of helping themselves, (c) guiding behavior with rules rather than supplying reinforcing consequences, (d) maintaining aversive sanctions of governments and religions with long-deferred benefits for the individual, and (e) reinforcing pleasures that are not contingent on the survival of the culture or species." With modern-day technology, many of these practices are even further accelerating. Principles of behavior can change many of the deleterious effects occurring to people through western practices.

A popular introductory psychology textbooks defines psychology as “the systematic study of behavior and experience. The word experience lets us discuss your perceptions without implying that a mind exists independently of your body.” Psychology came before behavior analysis but both seek to understand human behavior but through different lens of causality. Behavior analysis is part of psychology and can be used to interpret psychological phenomena throughout the domain. Understanding the relationship between psychology and behavior analysis helps practitioners understand how ABA relates to its parent discipline.

Skepticism is an attitude of science that includes doubt and questioning behavior towards knowledge claims that lack evidence or have questionable facts. Having a skeptical repertoire guards against superstitious beliefs and a faulty understanding of the world. Parents, and even practitioners, are hurt by pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and other false claims by (1) being swindled out of their money, (2) taken advantage of, (3) making bad life decisions, and sometimes (4) death. The following discussion defines skepticism, contrasts it with critical thinking, and describes how it fits into behavior analysis.    To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!

B. F. Skinner

In episode #10 of “ABA On Call,” Dr. Rick Kubina, BCBA-D and Dr. Doug Kostewicz, BCBA-D revisit an article written in 1992 – a special issue in American Psychologist that commemorated B.F. Skinner after his death. “Fundamentals of B.F. Skinner’s Behaviorism” reviews all of the different aspects of Skinner’s behaviorism, and although there are many elements to the renowned publication, the duo reflect on the purpose of science and how (when applied correctly) can lead to how we can holistically engineer a better society, the crucial role that environment has on the control in behavioral science, and behavioral determinism.   For more “ABA on Call,” follow CentralReach on Facebook, Twitter (@CentralReach), Instagram (@centralreach_) and LinkedIn, and subscribe to the podcast above!

Kerri Milyko

In this month’s episode, hosts Rick Kubina and Doug Kostewicz sit down with Kerri Milyko, BCBA-D, LBA of The Learning Consultants to discuss the impact of the element compound relationship (or component-composite relationship) and how it can be used to build the foundation for behaviors.   Dr. Milyko explains how if learners do not have the basic skills and are not fluent in foundational behaviors, then learners will have an extremely difficult time advancing their skills and continuing to learn. For example, if children are not fluent with compound or composite skills like holding a pencil or writing their name, then it will be extremely difficult for those composite skills or compounds to ever become proficient, and therefore, nearly impossible for the learner to build on and enhance their learning opportunities.   CentralReach Director of Research Dr. Rick Kubina, Ph.D., BCBA-D and Kerri Milyko, BCBA-D, LBA, will both be keynote panelists at CentralReach’s upcoming User Conference: CR Unite 19. At the premiere ABA event, Kerri and Rick will also discuss key themes, trends, and ideas that will be shaping the future of ABA and that they’ll be exploring with 300 attendees in Las Vegas.   Join Rick and Kerri at CR Unite 19   Earn 5 BACB Type II CEUs (including 2 Ethics and 1 Supervision)   CR Unite will offer attendees the chance to engage in hands-on training workshops, gain actionable insights from thought leaders, and participate in the future of ABA technology.

In "ABA On Call" episode #11, specialist guests Dr. Lisa Britton, BCBA-D and Matt Cicoria (Behavioral Observations Podcast) chat with our co-hosts about supervision in the digital age, what qualities make an effective supervisor, and how technology plays a role in helping behavior analysts solve problems, track tasks, and stick to their responsibilities in the field. What is remote supervision and how do you define it? As opposed to traditional models of supervision, Dr. Britton suggests that in-person supervision and remote supervision should look very similar.

CentralReach “ABA On Call” Podcast – Ep. 9: Debunking More ABA Myths

In episode #4 of “ABA On Call,” Rick and Doug highlight the upside of using dimensional quantities of measurement versus dimensionless quantities of measurement. They also seek to help you uncover the most accurate information possible when implementing your behavior analytical techniques and procedures. According to the co-hosts, when you have a dimensional quantity -- you as a behavior analyst have more accurate client information to work with and can better understand the magnitude of what is happening versus a behavior or idea that is dimensionless. For example, think about a child that needs to read correctly. You measure the percent of “words read correctly” and you note that the child read a passage “95% correctly.” Think about what you could gain by measuring the number of words read both correctly and incorrectly within a specific unit of time (pinpoints). This child is now producing more behavior, and thus, more data and information for an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) practitioner or educator to more precisely cater their custom intervention to accelerate superior outcomes for the child. Rick and Doug also discuss how you can rethink how you measure and look at behavior and how ABA therapist can determine the difference between pinpointing and operational definitions.
