No it wouldn't. I think the nature of the reinforcement would depend on what has happened historically *after* the positive thinking or attempt thereof. If...
OK, I think see what you're saying. My initial conception was that "negative thinking" would be an aversive state (accompanied by unpleasant emotions and...

I'm a bit lost on this thread. To go back to the original question, I'd say we know that EA is "really" a problem related to drinking, if we change the context...

Did anyone try a training of deictic frames, perspective-taking with adults? I've read the articles on children, but what about adults? Recently we regularly...

I am a bit lost too. The question I responded to was whether an attempt was negatively or positively reinforced. But re-reading the whole thread I became...
I am trying to briefly explain BEFORE-AFTER AND IF-THEN relations. Can someone tell me if this is a reasonable characterization of the learning history...

Hi Tony, We have to a lot of work on these issues to examine the development of such frames. My hunch about the development of If-Then framing is that it ...
Nice post, Den! ... From my point of view, the typical deductive errors that non-logicians make are not caused by any misunderstandig, but by the way...
Thanks Paco, I think we both agree that it's the history with "if...then" statements is where the "errors" in deduction stem from. The problem is that it is...
Maybe I am mistaken but is seems to me that in the "universe of existential phenomena" the use of "if-then" always is temporally related. Only if you stay...
Hi Hank, I'm not sure that I get exactly what you mean by the "universe of existential phenomena". If you mean, "the world in which events are temporally...
I read some RFT-research on the change of psychological function of stimulus C by putting it in relation with A-B (sexual excitement, taste preference, mood)....

Hi Thomas, Yes, I think you are right. The kind of learning experience you describe is often assumed in ACT-texts that deal with reason-giving. The question...
It seems to me that reason giving can have many functions through its effects the verbal or overt beahviors of others; as Thomas pointed out, one can avoid...
Hi Niklas, this may be very obvious, but I think the fundamental problem with reason-giving and coherence on its own, is that they can be examples of...
Let's see if I can pin-point my uncertainty about the relation between reason-giving/being right and experiental avoidance a bit more. 1. Reason-giving...
It seems likely that coherence becomes a kind of self-reinforcer for relational responding because it is correlated both with the immediate social consequences...

Here is a 20 year old "verbal painting" (i.e., a poem) I tweaked a bit tonight just for fun. I think I'd send around an untweaked pdf to some folks a while...
Hi, this is Brittany, and I'm new to the RF theory, but I think the following article (Staedter, Tracy. Robot Demonstrates Self Awareness. Discovery News.) has...
That's neat. I'd like to have my own R2D2 or C3PO someday. In the meantime, why don't they just invent an affordable robot to shovel snow, fold laundry, and...
