Recently there have been alot of people in the public eye getting in trouble for racist remarks. Mel Gibson, Michael Richards, and a football player here in...
It would be cool to get some more members that like to participate. I work in an office all by myself and its good to have discussions to look forward to. I...
Who gave that presentation? Interesting with the classical vs operant example. I guess I would kinda like to see some experiments show whether that is the...
So, I was at a recent conference where my old advisor did a presentation, entitled "Everything you know about behavior analysis is wrong" in which he discusses...
Yes! Exactly, it was in the same contingency-however in another contingency it could function as an Sd rather than an operandum. ~Conny ... a ... the ... SD ...
That whole operandum vs SD threw some people (myself included) for a loop. I think I finally figured out what you were saying, the key being the "in the same...
That sounds like a good example; if so, it would be great to bring that term back-it would probably help so people could discriminate what the operandum is-the...
No that makes sense. It seems like the presence or absence of an operandum fits into this category? ... the ... exactly an ... case the ... way? ... ...
Drat! You're right! I knew I was missing something. I used to watch Oprah when my kids were small... Back when she was more Springer-esque, but it didn't...
Ha! You spend to much time on this silly ABA stuff instead of watching jerry springer and testing ways to take advantage of the system. ... every ... me 2 ... ...
It's an old term Israel Goldiamond used to use. It has to do with the enviornment being in place for the behavior to happen. It's not exactly an Sd and not...
Wow- how sad. But I know it happens. Some parents seem to know how to get around every contingency. I have to fight to get valid problems fixed (it took me 2...
As a mom I was very happy when uniforms were adopted in my kids' elementary and middle schools. (The high schools didn't go there- don't know why.) For me it...
Amen sister, preach it! My wife had a student who got an F in every class. But she had to take his grade back and give him a C. Heres why: My wife called...
Although a generalization, it is an accurate one. The contingencies in the schools aren't designed to support good grades or academic achievement; the...
Yea, certain clothes or uniforms kinda function like that. Let you know how you should act. When people dress up they act more formally. When I wear a...

LOL!!! I used to tell my sister (who used to home school) she needed to make her kids raise their hands to talk, stand in line to go to the kitchen for lunch,...
what is a potentiating variable? It sounds like something that affects the potential of a behavior occuring. Is the effect due to the variable's ability to...
Yea I agree. I see dog trainers that are more fluent in teaching than people that work with humans. Also I do not understand why more attention isn't paid to...
... Yeah, and maybe not a direct contingency while still having some effect on behavior. Temperature, time of day, etc... Yeah, they could ber considered ...
I think setting events was an earlier term that gradually filtered into MO's. I think environmental conditions are essential to understanding and changing ...

Ok I think I am getting a better idea of this. Here is an example - Noise can be a setting event bc it can interfere with antecedtn- behavior relations. The...
Connie acording to the task list and the BACB exam, setting events are supposed to be distinguished from MO's and SD's. I like your examples of setting events...
