Given the pressures on us humans these days, there's no question that many of us are feeling increasingly anxious. But when does anxiousness become ANXIETY? This week, Dr. Keira Moore joins us to review a behavioral interpretation of anxiety, how what is typically a mentalistic distinction could be operationally defined, and what this could mean to improve treatment for populations with limited verbal behavior.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

We're starting the new year off by being humble and reflective after a tough year. And what better way to do that than welcome Dr. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi to share her research and work in the areas of cultural humility. We review how competence does not equal humility, the pernicious ways that black women have been barred from leadership, and what can be done to break these patterns in the workplace.

Bonus Episode 26 - The Year in ABA (2021) Dec 29, 2021

Show notes

Once again, our pal, Matt Cicoria, from the Behavioral Observations podcast joins us to sum up the biggest goings on in the field of behavior analysis throughout the long, dark year that was 2021. And then we decided to ignore all of the prepared topics and just engage in some off-track discussions on what we've been doing to make it to 2022. Think of it as our own self-care through podcasting.

While waiting for more marshmallows could correlate to a brighter future, self-control may not be everything it's cracked up to be. This week we look at research on the subject to find out whether clinicians can effectively teach a delay to gratification and, more importantly, if we should. Plus, a board game review from Rob!

In the latest in our professional collaboration series, we're joined with Dr. Michael Roberts, occupational therapist extrordinaire, to get to the bottom of the BCBA-OT practitioner divide. We have an illuminating time reviewing where BCBA's misunderstand OTs, OTs misunderstand BCBAs, and how much common ground both fields actually have. Guess you'll be the judge if this episode turned out to be our Kumbaya moment or not.

Because Jackie could no longer stand references to her "mind file", we decided to come up with a behavior analytic way to discuss memories. And who would be better to do that than the man with the biggest mind file on the subject, Dr. David Palmer! This week we discuss the ways that most memory models fail and how memory as behavior can be interpreted in what we think is an excellent addendum to this classic article.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Branching out into the world of behavioral economics, it's our newest Book Club covering the classic, Nobel-prize-adjacent, "Nudge" by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. We're joined by our Book Club Buddy, Alan, and new patron, Victoria, to explore how the economists think of human behavior and whether the principles behind choice architecture are all they've been made out to be. Plus, Rob runs down some of the additions to the recently published "Final Edition" and how it may make "Nudge" a lesser work than the previous version. All that and the best insurance buying tips!
