ABA Inside TrackSchedule Thinning and FCRFCR is amazing and all, but what can be done about the that dense schedule of reinforcement? This week we explore what the research has to say about thinning that schedule using good old discrimination cues and a boatload of gumption. Well, mostly the first part. Plus, a fabulous recent summary of everything you wanted to know about the topic courtesy of Kranak and Brown. Think of us as the audiobook version of their recent article. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Hanley, G.P., Iwata, B.A...

ABA Inside TrackError CorrectionMaking mistakes isn't all bad. Unless those mistakes result in faulty stimulus control during skill acquisition. But, fret not, this week we dive into some of the options available as you craft your programs to respond to errors in a way to maximize learnining efficiency while taking the preferences of your client into account. Basically, how to teach the fastest while being the least annoying. And does correcting errors actually work better than avoiding them? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

ABA Inside TrackImproving Your Parent Training PracticesAs Will Smith once said, "Parents just don't understand." But maybe that's because our parent training practices aren't good enough to support their ability to learn behavioral and instructional methodologies. This week we revisit our own practices and what recent research tells us about improving them. We chat about supporting social skills, academic instruction, and behavioral interventions all in the comfort of your own home. Because we're not just parent trainers, we're also parents! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Sneed, L., & Samelson, D. (2022). Effectiveness of parent-led applied...

ABA Inside TrackDRA Minus EXT Equals Promising TreatmentDRA treatments are probably one of our all-time favorites when it comes to supporting clients with challenging behavior. If it weren't for that darn extinction piece, it'd probably be an all-time favorite for everyone. So, what if we kept the DRA and ditched the extinction component? This week we find out. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Trump, C.E., Ayre, K.M., Quinland, K.K., & Zabala, K.A. (2020).

ABA Inside TrackMand TrainingSeven years of podcasting and we've never actually sat down to discuss how to teach manding. This week, we make up for lost time by pulling from a variety of mand training research quandrants to see what's new to up our mand game. We've got mand assessments, manding with speech generating devices, and the ombudsmand (a term Rob has refused to stop using). This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

ABA Inside TrackSynchronous Reinforcement w/ Dr. Claudia DozierContingent reinforcement is great and all. But what if I could have the reinforcement delivered at the same time as my target behavior? Despite having been described for some time, very little has been done to explore the potential use of synchronous reinforcement. Fortunately, Dr. Claudia Dozier joins us this week to get this new line of research up to speed by discussing two of her recent publications on the subject. So listen in while eating a big bag of your favorite snack! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode:

ABA Inside TrackMoving Away from Edible ReinforcementWhile we all love a good snack, and we can all agree the we'd do almost anything for a Klondike bar, there's more to life than food. So why do behavior analysts get stuck on using edibles as the be all and end all of reinforcement in behavior acquisition? This week, we take a look at the research to see if edible reinforcers really should be selling like hotcakes or if there's more to reinforcement than chocolate-covered potato chips. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Ciccone, F.J...

ABA Inside TrackEpisode 235 - (The Lack of) Ethics and Conversion Therapy w/ Alan Haberman (LIVE) (ETHICS)As a follow up to Episode 219, we continue our discussion of the harms of conversion therapy by behavior analysis in the 1970s by covering the remaining research articles published in JABA on the subject. Bringing his ever-detailed additional context is Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman, who helps us look at whether this research deserves its own expressions of concern (or is just inappropriate and gross) and which ethical principles we should focus on to ensure client rights are never violated by behavior analysis again. Plus, some time out to laud those behavior analysts who spoke out against this line...

ABA Inside TrackIdiosyncratic Functional AnalysesDid you ever have one of those weird funtional analyses? You know, the one where all the problem behavior happens in the control condition or responding remains strangely variable during the escape condition even though the client's teacher swears he tantrums every single time she presents any work? This week we seek answers as to what to do when your FA results look like the world's most volatile stock prices by exploring idiosyncratic variables and how to find them. Plus, could the IISCA be the most idiosyncratic FA process of all? And one of Rob's favorite articles, discussed here...

ABA Inside TrackEpisode 232 - PerseverationWhen one of our listeners wrote in to ask about an episode on perseveration, we realized that we'd never directly discussed one of the original markers described in diagnosing Asperger's syndrome. And boy were we shocked and mildly appalled at what we found! This week, we reflect on exactly what perseverative behavior really is, whether it should be categorized as a problem behavior at all, and if previous treatment research has missed the point. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Horr, J.A.M. & Michael, A.V. (2021). Functional...

ABA Inside TrackEpisode 231 - Emotional Behavioral Disorder Treatment w/ Dr. Johanna StaubitzDespite poor long-term outcomes, effective treatments for emotional behavioral disorder seem just out of reach. But, this week, we're especially jazzed to have Dr. Johanna Staubitz join us to review some of the more promising technologies being explored today. From enhanced-choice SBT to more classic self-control training, we're on the edge of our seats discussing the pros, cons, and everything in between. In fact, we had so many questions, we had to make this an extra-long episode! This episode is available for 1.5 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Staubitz, J.L., Staubitz, J...

ABA Inside TrackGrab Bag: Triple DeucesDiana: I need the reason. Don't say money. Why do this? Rob: Why not do it? Because yesterday I walked out of the conference after losing four hours of my life and you're cold-researching "Teen Beat" cover topics. Because the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the contingencies, the house takes you. Unless, when that perfect article comes along, you bet behavior analysis podcast, and then you take the house. Diana: Been practicing that speech, have you? Rob: Little bit. Did I rush it? Felt like I rushed it.

ABA Inside TrackFacilitated CommunicationWhile science has researched the effectiveness of many augmentative and assistive communication methods, one disproven, pseudoscientific technique just keeps refusing to stay in the dustbin of history: Facilitated communication. This week, we go back to the 90s to review how facilitated communication stole the voices of people with disabilities, the research that originally kicked facilitated communication to the curb, and why it remains important to guard against FC's seemingly never-ending resurgence. Plus, Rob fights city hall poorly. Also, if you've never seen it, be sure to watch Prisoners of Silence, a documentary from 1992 that we all love...

ABA Inside TrackA Call to Action on Rekers and Lovaas w/ Dr. Sarah Campau + Dr. Matthew Capriotti (feat. Alan Haberman)In 2020 the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis posted an Expression of Concern regarding Rekers & Lovaas (1973) as a step in acknowledging behavior analysis's complicity in the pseudoscience of conversion therapy. This week we're joined by special guests, Drs. Sarah Campau and Matthew Capriotti, as well as Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman, to talk about what comes next. We review the controversy over the original paper, discuss public policy around supporting the LGBTQ+ community, and start planning how behavior analysis can kickstart new research that benefits sexual and gender minorities. For more on the history of conversion therapy, Dr...

ABA Inside TrackEpisode 210 - Multiple ExemplarsDid you know that multiple exemplar training and multiple exemplar instruction are actually two different procedures? Neither did we! But, on this week's episode we learned to tell both apart as well as how both techniques can be a boon (mostly) for improving the efficiency of your teaching procedures. Please enjoy our review of multiple exemplars of multiple exemplar research! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Sivaraman, M. (2017).

ABA Inside TrackIncidental TeachingSomehow we managed to go 200+ episodes without ever directly discussing one of the oldest ABA procedures, incidental teaching. So, let's make up for lost time by reviewing almost 50 years of articles on incidental teaching. Well, more like one article in almost every decade since Hart and Risley's original findings. We'll discuss how the definition of incidental teaching has changed over time, when incidental teaching may not be your first treatment choice, and how to get your friends to share the best toys.

ABA Inside TrackInstructional ControlFor a variety of reasons, classroom management systems aren't always readily adopted in our schools. Could it be because they're too hard to maintain?

ABA Inside TrackToken Economies in ActionWhile token economies may be one of the earliest well-known examples of applied behavior analysis in practice, this may have led to two larger issues: overreliance and misunderstanding.

You know, that fun activity where you put a baby on its stomach to strengthen muscles and minimize the risk of getting a flat head. The one that makes most babies cry hysterically. Now research is here to inform how we can promote this very necessary activity without all the tears.

This week, Dr. Kelly McConnell stops by to discuss her research on helping individuals with autism tolerate dental exams, including the do's and do not's of working with dentists and ensuring that the program in the clinic actually results in a successful trip to the dentist's office. 4 out of 5 dentists recommend you listen to this episode (we're guessing).

ABA Inside TrackStimulus EquivalenceBy popular demand (of Diana), we're talking all about stimulus equivalence.

ABA Inside TrackMassed Trials vs. the WorldAre you like me and you've been wondering why massed trials seem to be the most popular format for discrete trial training? Ever think that there could be a better way? Lucky for you, this week we're using research to pit massed trials head-to-head against other DTT formats in a knock-down, drag-out cage match for the ages. Will interspersed trials cause a big upset? Can distributed trials make it to the final round? Or will massed trials dominate all comers?
