Fagerstrom, Asle; Arntzen, Erik – Psychological Record, 2013
Consumer behavior analysis can be applied over a wide range of economic topics in which the main focus is the contingencies that influence the behavior of the economic agent. This paper provides an overview on the work that has been done on the impact from motivating operations at the point of online purchase situation. Motivating operations, a…

Kourea, Lefki; Lo, Ya-yu – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2016
Improving academic, behavioural, and social outcomes of students through empirical research has been a firm commitment among researchers, policy-makers, and other professionals in education across Europe and the United States (U.S.). To assist in building scientific evidences, executive bodies such as the European Commission and the Institute for…

da Costa, Laura; Remedios, Richard – Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 2014
Achievement goal theory is one of the most popular theories of achievement motivation. Techniques researchers have used to assess goals include standardized questionnaires and interviews. One curious finding is that participants whose self-report questionnaire responses strongly indicate they operate with a performance goal do not make performance…

Sham, Elyssa; Smith, Tristram – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
Publication bias arises when studies with favorable results are more likely to be reported than are studies with null findings. If this bias occurs in studies with single-subject experimental designs (SSEDs) on applied behavior-analytic (ABA) interventions, it could lead to exaggerated estimates of intervention effects. Therefore, we conducted an…

Thompson, Aaron M.; Ruhr, Lindsay R.; Maynard, Brandy R.; Pelts, Michael D.; Bowen, Natasha K. – Campbell Systematic Reviews, 2013
The review will focus on the effectiveness of school-based "self-management" (SM) interventions--a widely-used cognitive behavioral intervention to address disruptive and challenging behaviors in school settings. Though SM interventions are referred by many names (e.g., self-control, effortful control, self-regulation), SM is defined as…

Fryling, Mitch J. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2013
Skinner's (1957) analysis of verbal behavior has been the subject of much controversy in recent years. While criticism has historically come from outside the field of behavior analysis, there are now well-articulated arguments against Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior from within the field as well. Recently, advocates of…

Wolvin, Andrew – International Journal of Listening, 2013
Robert Bostrom's seminal contributions to listening theory and research represent an impressive legacy and provide listening scholars with important perspectives on the complexities of listening cognition and behavior. Bostrom's work provides a solid foundation on which to build models that more realistically explain how listeners function…

Stellefson, Michael; Paige, Samantha R.; Alber, Julia M.; Barry, Adam E.; James, Delores – American Journal of Health Education, 2015
"The Belmont Report" was written in 1979 to address the abuse of human participants in biomedical research. In the report, three ethical principles were described: (1) "beneficence," which describes an act of charity or kindness that maximizes possible benefits while minimizing possible harms; (2) "justice," described…

Zaval, Lisa; Cornwell, James F. M. – European Journal of Education, 2017
Communicators of climate science seek ways to better educate and motivate individuals to personally commit to sustainable, energy-saving activities. However, critical psychological and social barriers to conservation make this task challenging. Behavioural scientists are well aware of the difficulties that individuals and groups have in responding…

Tipton, Elizabeth; Yeager, David; Iachan, Ronaldo – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
Questions regarding the generalizability of results from educational experiments have been at the forefront of methods development over the past five years. This work has focused on methods for estimating the effect of an intervention in a well-defined inference population (e.g., Tipton, 2013; O'Muircheartaigh and Hedges, 2014); methods for…

Jones, Sherry Everett; Caraballo, Ralph S. – Journal of School Health, 2014
Background: Cigarette and alcohol use are common among youth. We examined sources of cigarettes and alcohol among youth who were current cigarette and alcohol users. Methods: We analyzed nationally representative data from the 2009 and 2011 national Youth Risk Behavior Surveys--biennial, school-based surveys of high school students in the United…

Hinton, Elizabeth A.; Wheeler, Marina G.; Gourley, Shannon L. – Learning & Memory, 2014
An important aspect of goal-directed action selection is differentiating between actions that are more or less likely to be reinforced. With repeated performance or psychostimulant exposure, however, actions can assume stimulus-elicited--or "habitual"--qualities that are resistant to change. We show that selective knockdown of prelimbic…

McDowell, J. J. – Behavior Analyst, 2012
Rachlin's teleological behaviorism eliminates the first-person ontology of conscious experience by identifying mental states with extended patterns of behavior, and thereby maintains the materialist ontology of science. An alternate view, informed by brain-based and externalist philosophies of mind, is shown also to maintain the materialist…

Bayles, Makenzie W.; Boutain, Ariana R.; Brandt, Julie A. Ackerlund; Call, Nikki; Dracobly, Joseph D.; Greer, Brian D.; Gureghian, Danielle L.; Harper, Amy M.; Merritt, Todd A.; Miller, Jonathan R.; Payne, Steven W.; Morris, Edward K. – Behavior Analyst, 2012
An issue of "The Behavior Analyst" contained an article by Critchfield (2011), entitled "Interesting Times: Practice, Science, and Professional Associations in Behavior Analysis," about a rift between the field's scientists and practitioners. Critchfield observed that the science and practice of behavior analysis are subject to different…

Schlesinger, Matthew; McMurray, Bob – Cognitive Development, 2012
Does modeling matter? We address this question by providing a broad survey of the computational models of cognitive development that have been proposed and studied over the last three decades. We begin by noting the advantages and limitations of computational models. We then describe four key dimensions across which models of development can be…
