Article on behavioral cusps and a developmental and pragmatic concept for behavior analysis.

Article on the effects of target training and shaping on the trailer-loading behavior of horses.

This article discusses occipitoparietal contributions to recognition memory and stimulus encoding prompted by verbal instructions and operant contingencies.

The purpose of this article is to review the importance of play in a young child's life and to discuss the importance of measuring play when designing interventions for children with autism. Furthermore, this paper will present an example of a consistent and reliable observation system that assesses the complexity and variety of play on children with autism and with typically developing children.

This article discusses development of interests in children with autism.

This article discusses neural correlates of derived relational responding on tests of stimulus equivalence.

Article on the functional analysis and treatment of self-injury in a captive olive baboon.

Poster presentation for the 2010 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on the difficulty of assessing female psychopathy.

Article on the effects of a supportive communication training workshop on the verbal behavior of behavior analysts.

Article discussing neural systems supporting avoidance behavior in healthy youths. The author's investigation examined brain activation patterns to threatening cues that prompted avoidance in healthy youths.

Article on amygdala involvement in human avoidance, escape and approach behavior. The authors examine amygdala reactivity to threatening cues when avoidance responding consistently prevented contact with an upcoming aversive event (money loss).

This article discusses tactics for encouraging compliance in pediatric functional magnetic resonance neuroimaging.

This article evaluates the utility of assessing and treating severe selfinjurious behavior (SIB) based on the outcomes of a functional analysis of precursor behavior.

This article contains a response to the article by Critchfield (2011) entitled "Interesting Times: Practice, Science, and Professional Associations in Behavior Analysis", including a concern about the effect of seprating science and practice on the future of behavior analysis.

This article explores how generalized anxiety modulates frontal and limbic activation in major depression. The authors' findings highlight frontal and limbic hypoactivation in patients with depression and comorbid anxiety and indicate that anxiety level may modulate frontal and limbic activation depending upon the emotional context.

Article on learned, instructed, and symbolic generalization pathways of human threat-avoidance.

This article describes an investigation in which 30 healthy adults underwent functional neuroimaging while completing an avoidance task in which responses to an Avoidable CS+ threat prevented delivery of an aversive stimulus, but not to an Unavoidable CS+ threat.

This article compares two pathways to avoidance--instructions and social observation--on subsequent generalization of avoidance behavior, fear expectancy and physiological arousal.

Article discussing current thinking about adult education and blended learning technologies, as well as examples of emerging possibilities of multimedia technology in the development of teaching materials.

This article discusses applying behavior analysis to autism.

Article discussing three important things to consider when starting intervention for a child diagnosed with autism.

Article discussing advances, challenges, and future directions for training of behavior analysts for autism services within the context of higher education in the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Norway, and Sweden.

This article highlights concerns in recent changes to the Registered Behavior Technician™ certification (RBT®) including the processes of training, supervising, and becoming an RBT®. It then proposes solutions to improve the RBT® certification.

This article is a perspective arguing that response systems can be understood as an interaction between anatomically constrained behavioral topographies occasioned by currently present stimuli and a history of reinforcement.
