General Reflections on Interactions between Cross-Disciplinary Theories of Human Language Development Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 Kieva Hranchuk, R. D. Greer
The robust vocabularies acquired by neurotypical children are impossible to account for by direct instruction alone, and as such incidental acquisition must play a role. A variety of explanations for the source of this exponential language growth have been put forth by theorists across related disciplines. We provide our general reflections on interactions that exist among the possible sources of incidental

An Evaluation of Asynchronous Online Discussion Board Formats in Interteaching Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2024-02-21
Abstract The current study evaluated the effects of two different styles of discussion board assignments on weekly and cumulative final exam scores in an online asynchronous undergraduate psychology of learning class. In particular, this study used an alternating treatments design to compare three different discussion conditions: (1) interteaching-style discussion, in which students discussed all prep

Language Development and Behavioral Systems Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2024-02-13 Martha Pelaez, Gary Novak
We present the core principles of a behavioral systems theory (BST) that incorporates dynamical systems concepts and applies them to a behavior analysis of early language development. The tenets of BST include multiple determinism, coalescent organization, nonlinearity, emergence, phase shifts, and developmental cusps. Developmental changes are marked by the transactions between genetic inheritance

Observation, Language Learning, and Development: The Verbal Behavior Development Theory Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 R. Douglas Greer, Jessica Dudek, Hung Chang
A review of recent applied research in observation suggests researchers could profit from a new account of observational learning. Current research in the identification and establishment of verbal developmental cusps demonstrates the importance of the range of observational cusps necessary for the acquisition of language. These cusps encompass learning through imitation, duplication of outcomes, understanding

Associations of Delay Discounting Rate with Anxiety Disorder Symptomatology and Diagnoses Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Caroline H. Armstrong, Elizabeth A. Hoge
Delay discounting is the tendency for individuals to devalue a reward as time to receipt of the reward increases. Rates of delay discounting describe to what extent one prefers smaller rewards delivered immediately over larger rewards delivered at a delay. Discount rates vary among individuals, and authors have suggested that abnormal discount rate may represent a transdiagnostic process implicated

Avoidance Extinction in Equivalence Classes Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2024-01-31
Abstract Extinction of a response in the presence of one stimulus in an equivalence class can transfer to other related stimuli, but difficulties in establishing extinction can compromise analyses. The present study evaluated the transfer of avoidance extinction with two extinction procedures. In particular, avoidance or nonavoidance was always (Experiment 1) and never (Experiment 2) followed by point

Research on Human Language and Cognition in Brazil Based on Stimulus Equivalence and Relational Frame Theory Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2024-01-16 Renato Bortoloti, William F. Perez, João H. de Almeida, Julio C. de Rose
Behavior analysis in Brazil started with Keller’s visit in 1961 and has since grown steadily. Brazilian research on the last decades has been relevant to modern behavior analysis of language and cognition, mostly due to a network including researchers from several universities, the National Institute for Science and Technology on Behavior, Cognition, and Teaching (INCT-ECCE). This article attempts

An Evaluation of Daily Perceived Stress and Impulsive Decision Making: A Pilot Study Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2024-01-10
Abstract Excessive choice of smaller-immediate rewards has been positively correlated with a host of negative health outcomes such as addiction, gambling, and overeating. Meta-analytic research suggests that stress is a contextual variable that can contribute to impulsive choice. The strength of the relationship between stress and impulsive decision making may be largely moderated by how these variables

To Dismantle or Not to Dismantle: Components of Derived Relational Responding Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2023-12-18
Abstract The behavior-analytic approach to language and cognition is consistent with parsimony and coherence in explanatory systems within and across fields of science. Some disagreement exists regarding the appropriate composition of the conceptual tool kit that behavior analysts apply to problems in language and cognition, but ultimately these differences in perspective are minor within the context

Meaningful Stimuli and Equivalence Classes: The Intersection of Hedonics, Connotative, Denotative, and Discriminative Functions Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2023-12-18 Lanny Fields, Erik Arntzen
An equivalence class can contain nominally meaningless stimuli that become related to each other by training and testing. It can also contain at least one meaningful stimulus. The likelihood of equivalence class formation is enhanced by the inclusion of a meaningful stimulus as a class member. It is traditional for stimulus meaningfulness to be characterized by its hedonic, denotative, and connotative

Objectives: The present study aimed at assessing psychological flexibility, the core construct of the acceptance and commitment therapy model, in the context of chronic illness. In particular, the present study aimed at validating the 18-item Portuguese CompACT measure of psychological flexibility in a chronic illness sample (total n = 419; 83.8% women; 16.2% men) collected via online survey.

Nosepoke Omission Contingency with Rats and Sucrose Solution: A Pilot Study Psychol. Rec. (IF 1.279) Pub Date : 2023-11-08 Samantha C. Lauby, Joshua E. Wolf, Kevin Strader, Matthew H. Scheel
Rats heard an 8-s tone before a pump dispensed water or 5% sucrose-water into a dish. Nosepokes into the drinking area during tone canceled liquid delivery on that trial. Nevertheless, rats nosepoked at higher rates during sessions when tone preceded sucrose solution than during sessions when tone preceded water. These results demonstrate the viability of nosepoking in an omission contingency with

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is one of the most popular crowdsourcing platforms for online research. Although the recent MTurk data quality crisis has raised serious concerns regarding its utility, this issue can be mitigated by including quality control methods. To date, only a few studies have compared the effectiveness of the methods in preserving an experimental effect. To provide empirical guidance

A contextual model of delusions drawing on discourse analysis is explored, which changes current attributional models to more concrete and observable forms of language-in-context. Most current models view delusions as internal beliefs that are the result of faulty reasoning or cognitive errors, whereas the present model treats delusions as natural discourses that have gone wrong or become exaggerated
