A Behavioral Perspective on Community Resilience during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Case of Paraisópolis in São Paulo, Brazil
(MDPI, 2021-01-30)The present article discusses the emergence and dynamics of community resilience by empirically investigating the case of the favela of Paraisópolis in São Paulo, Brazil. The emergence of innovative practices that initially ... -
The effects of performance feedback on organizational citizenship behaviour: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-08-10)Performance feedback is a managerial practice whose effects widely impact job satisfaction and commitment. Job satisfaction and commitment represent antecedents of organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB), denoting a ... -
The emergence of bidirectional naming through sequential operant instruction following the establishment of conditioned social reinforcers
(Springer Nature, 2020)Bidirectional naming (BiN) is the integration of speaker and listener responses, reinforced by social consequences. Unfortunately, these consequences often do not function as reinforcers for behavior in children with autism. ... -
For Your Eyes Only: A Field Experiment on Nudging Hygienic Behavior
(Frontiers Media, 2020-12-04)These days many gyms and fitness centers are closed to reduce transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in society. The gym is an environment rich in microorganisms, and careful hygiene is a necessity to keep infections at ... -
Måleegenskaper ved en skala for sosial akseptabilitet. En pilotstudie
(Norsk Atferdsanalytisk Forening, 2020)En vesentlig dimensjon ved anvendt atferdsanalyse er at tiltak skal være viktige for mottakeren og anerkjennes av relevante personer rundt; anvendt dimensjonen. En raffinering av dimensjonen førte til utvikling av begrepet ... -
Comparing a student active learning format to equivalence-based instruction
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)The present study compared the effectiveness of a student active learning format (SALF) to equivalence-based instruction (EBI), in teaching behavior analytic terms. The EBI condition included matching-to-sample, and SALF ... -
A critical review of the support for variability as an operant dimension
(Springer, 2020-07-27)There is abundant evidence that behavioral variability is more predominant when reinforcement is contingent on it than when it is not, and the interpretation of direct reinforcement of variability suggested by Page and ... -
Tailoring of painful stimuli used for exploring transfer of function
(Springer, 2020-03-04)Fifteen college students rated the degree of painfulness of six images showing needle injections to different parts of a human hand. The images were rated on a scale ranging from 1 (not painful) to 5 (severely painful). ... -
Identity matching in a person with Alzheimer's disease
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-04-02)In the present study, a 91-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s disease participated. The purpose of the experiment was to study how repetitions of conditions affected correct responding in identity matching-to-sample. The ... -
Yield as an essential measure of equivalence class formation, other measures, and new determinants
(Springer Nature, 2020-03-31)“Yield,” the percentage of participants in a group who form a set of equivalence classes, has been used very broadly to identify the effect of different training protocols on class formation and expansion, identify variables ... -
Social categorization and stimulus equivalence: A systematic replication
(Springer Nature, 2020-01-02)A systematic replication of Watt, Keenan, Barnes, and Cairns (1991) was conducted on two groups of Norwegian soccer supporters. The 24 participants were trained conditional discriminations for the emergence of three 3-member ... -
On the effectiveness of including meaningful pictures in the formation of equivalence classes
(Wiley, 2020-01-12)In three experiments, 165 adult participants were trained on 12 baseline conditional discriminations and tested for the formation of three 5-member equivalence classes (AàBàCàDàE). All experiments included two reference ... -

Stimulus-equivalence technology to teach skills about nutritional content
(Springer Nature, 2020-04-21)Abstract Twenty-two adult participants, assigned to three conditions, were trained nutrition knowledge (i.e., carbohydrate values) for different food items. In a stimulus sorting test, the participants were asked to sort ... -
The effect of pre-training of abstract stimuli to exert control over tact and mand responses on stimulus equivalence class formation.
(Asociación de Análisis del Comportamiento, 2020-10)Recent studies show that the formation of stimulus equivalence classes can be enhanced by meaningful stimuli. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether acquired meaningfulness, through pretraining of meaningless ... -
On recent attempts to rebrand “behavior analysis” as “behavior science”
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-04-25)In recent years, behavior analysts have increasingly used the term behavior science to describe the discipline behavior analysis. These “rebranding” efforts have not been concentrated in any particular domain of behavior ... -
On the use of morphing techniques in conditional- discrimination procedures

The PAX Good Behavior Game: One Model for Evolving a More Nurturing Society
(Springer, 2020-08-25)This paper describes the culture and components of the PAX Good Behavior Game and offers it as one model for how to enhance the well-being of populations through the diffusion of nurturing practices into several venues of ... -
The State of Experimental Research on Community Interventions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions—A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2020-09-15)This paper reviews research on community efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We conducted a systematic search of the relevant literature, and supplemented our findings with an analysis of review papers previously ... -
Scaling up and scaling out: Consilience and the evolution of more nurturing societies
(Elsevier, 2020-08-05)This paper argues that diverse disciplines within the human sciences have converged in identifying the conditions that human beings need to thrive and the programs, policies, and practices that are needed to foster ...
