The theme of this year’s Behavior Analysis Student Association conference is “Out of the Box, Into the Spotlight”. Behavior analysis is a vast field which consists of numerous opportunities for individuals of many backgrounds. It seeks to help us understand more about our experience and the environment around us. The goal of this year’s conference is to shed light on areas of behavior analysis that do not get a lot of attention and don’t get talked about a lot at conferences.

Discriminating between motivating operations (MOs) and discriminative stimuli is a critical skill that can make the difference between designing effective or ineffective interventions. This presentation provides explicit instruction on the topic by using everyday examples.

Provides an updated model of the discriminated operant that takes into account combined schedules of reinforcement, behavioral contrast, behavioral momentum, the matching law, motivating operations and contextual variables. Emphasizes the implications of this model for assessment and treatment. Also covers resistance to change and persistence as they relate to these variables.

This interview with Dr. Jack Michael, conducted by Tate McGhee, is one of historical significance. Dr. Michael recalls chance events, B.F. Skinner, his thoughts on Science and Human Behavior and some of the family and friends who have shared his life. His stories of the past and his views of the future combine with his current interest in verbal behavior and motivation to fascinate viewers.

Covers the basic elements of Skinner’s (1957) Analysis of Verbal Behavior. The content of the course covers the first five chapters of Skinner’s book. Practice exercises are provided to teach students how to classify samples of verbal behavior.

Covers several advanced topics from Skinner’s (1957) book, The Analysis of Verbal Behavior. The content of the course covers Chapters 6 through 17. Several suggestions on empirical research relevant to Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior are presented.

This webinar presents a language assessment program (the VB-MAPP) that is based on Skinner’s Analysis of Verbal Behavior and the language acquisition milestones of typically developing children.

Describes how to develop and implement a language intervention program based on the results of a VB-MAPP assessment. A brief overview of the body of empirical research that supports the use of Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior for children with language delays is presented, as well as recommendations for a variety of teaching situations.

Explores the mechanics and design of Achieve!, a strengths-based comprehensive day treatment program based entirely on behavior analytic principles and designed to serve children diagnosed with emotional disorders and other high-risk behaviors. The program is also a field-based clinical training and research site for USM’s master’s and doctoral students in school psychology, developed by Professor F. Charles “Bud” Mace, who is among the top 10 most-cited researchers in behavioral psychology.

Being a behavioral consultant is not an easy job. There are many skills behavioral consultants must demonstrate to establish themselves as conditioned reinforcers for their consumers and to obtain buy-in for their procedures. This presentation will take the consultative process from start to finish.*

This presentation reviews translational findings from nonhuman to human basic research for the purpose of stimulating the development of behavioral technologies.*

Presents assessment technologies for determining the environmental variables that give rise to and maintain severe problem behavior in persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Skinner’s vision for behavior analysis was that it would become a mainstream science pertinent to both the minor and major problems of everyday human life. Clearly his vision has not been realized. This course presents mainstream areas where behavior analysis could make a contribution.

Presents a review of functional analysis methods integrated with recent critical research.

Presents and evaluates various methods of assessing preference. Relevant research is reviewed.

Presents a stimulating review of operations that may alter stimulus value as well as relevant new research.

Presents the application of a behavioral approach to the court system. Demonstrates how the behavioral focus on environment and learning variables melds nicely with questions of competence and responsibility that are frequently a focus of the courts.

Details the establishment of instructional control in the natural environment. Defines and distinguishes natural environment teaching from intensive teaching. Provides specific procedures for contriving motivation, controlling reinforcers and teaching learners to sustain motivation over time. Explains practical guidelines to assist in increasing appropriate mands. Reviews data collection and graphing specific to this area, along with how to analyze for effective teaching.
