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.

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. Articles discussed this episode: Palmer, D.C. (1991). A behavioral interpretation of memory. In L.J. Hayes & P.N. Chase (Eds.). Dialogues on verbal behavior (pp. 261-279). Reno, NV: Context Press. If you're interested in ordering CEs for listening to this episode, click here to go to the store page.

Head over to our Patreon site and subscribe at the $10 or higher level to access this and all of other Book Clubs, plus a bevy of other extras just for patrons. Hope to see you there!   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!   References for this episode:   Thaler, R.H & Sunstein, C.R. (2021). Nudge the final edition. Yale University Press.   Thaler, R.H. & Sunstein, C.R.

So you’re telling me, if I just set some goal above my current performance—maybe even really high above my current performance—I’ll just suddenly improve?

Ok, that’ll be my first goal. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Amigo, S., Smith, A., & Ludwig, T. (2008).
