Twyman\, PhD\, BCBA: Can Behavior Analysts Behave Ethically?\n				Afffiliation:\nFounder\, blast: A Learning Sciences CompanyMember\, Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies Board of Directors \nPresentation: Can Behavior Analysts Behave Ethically?\nAbstract:\nEthics is said to represent the moral code that guides one’s choices and behaviors; a moral code that often extends beyond one person to include what is right or wrong for groups\, organizations\, or society at large. Most humans share a common belief that we all should behave ethically\, both personally and professionally. Inherent in the idea of ethics or morality is the perception of free choice. Given a conflicting situation one should choose to behave ethically. Yet in a deterministic science such as behavior analysis\, behavior is viewed as a product of the intersection of genetic inheritance\, learning history\, current conditions\, and available alternative contingencies. Can a behavior analyst (or anyone) choose to behave ethically? When behavior tacted as unethical occurs\, is it right to blame or punish the individual? As B.F. Skinner famously noted\, “the rat is always right.” Given the stance that behavior is lawful\, how should we as a field view and respond to unethical professional behavior? These issues will be analyzed from a non-linear perspective which will lead to suggestions towards a more systemic\, contingency-analytic approach to ethical behavior. \nLearning Objectives:\nAt the conclusion of this presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\n\nDefine nonlinear contingencies and alternative sets.\nDescribe potential nonlinear contingencies for behavior deemed unethical.\nIdentify alternatives to coercive systems of influence or control\n\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Janet Twyman is an education innovator\, thought leader\, and founder of blast: A Learning Sciences Company. Her numerous articles\, book chapters\, and presentations address behavior analysis\, instructional design\, technology\, and educational systems\, and includes co-editing three books on educational innovation\, personalized learning\, and equity.

He later transitioned to working in the public educator sector where he worked as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and New Jersey Department of Education certified school psychologist. During his time in the public schools\, he case managed and provided behavioral and psychological services for students with emotional and behavioral disorders for a highly specialized in-district special education program. \nAfter working in the schools\, Brian created and owned a full service behavioral healthcare agency in New Jersey that had provided high quality Applied Behavior Analysis services to children\, adolescents\, and adults with autism\, developmental disabilities\, behavioral disorders\, and psychiatric conditions.  His agency provided services in client’s homes\, public and private schools\, agencies\, and hospital-based settings. Through his dedicated work to families and individuals with disabilities and his passion for providing high-quality and ethical Applied Behavior Analysis services\, he was able to get the agency approved by the New Jersey Department of Education\, New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities\, various insurance agencies\, and later as a nationally recognized Behavioral Health Center of Excellence.  He later left operating a full service agency to focus on teaching and research at the university level and public speaking and consulting through his own practice. \nWith over 10 years experience working in the field\, Brian developed the graduate program in Applied Behavior Analysis at Seton Hall University and continues to work at the university as a Faculty Associate teaching courses in Applied Behavior Analysis and special education\, conducting research through his lab\, and mentoring students in the field. \nDISCLOSURE: \nFinancial: Dr. Brian Conners receives no compensation as an employee of the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies.Non-financial: No relevant non-financial relationships to disclose. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				PRESENTING VIRTUALLY: Susan G. Friedman\, PhD: Why Animals Need Trainers Who Adhere to the Least Intrusive Principle: Improving Animal Welfare and Honing Trainers’ Skills \n				Afffiliation:\nProfessor Emeritus\, Department of Psychology\, Utah State UniversityFounder\, Behavior Works \nPresentation: Why Animals Need Trainers Who Adhere to the Least Intrusive Principle: Improving Animal Welfare and Honing Trainers’ Skills\n(To be presented virtually – Dr. Friedman will be streaming in virtually during the in-person conference.)\nAbstract:\nNegative reinforcement is a bit like a train wreck: You know you should maintain speed and drive past it but you just can’t help slowing down to satisfy your curiosity. Recent interest in basic research on negative reinforcement sets the occasion to check our understanding of why animals need trainers who support the least intrusive principle for selecting behavior-change procedures. This principle doesn’t preclude the use of negative reinforcement per se; rather\, it limits the use of negative reinforcement when it isn’t necessary\, i.e.\, when positive reinforcement-based procedures may be equally efficient and effective. All professions have ethical guidelines — that part of applied practice that science doesn’t (indeed can’t) address. And many of them adhere to the least intrusive principle\, e.g.\, special education\, mental health\, medicine and law. In this presentation\, we will 1) examine the rational for a hierarchy of behavior-change procedures according to the least intrusive principle\, 2) consider its impact on both animal welfare and trainers’ skills\, and 3) address concerns with the adoption of this ethical guideline as it applies to the animal training profession. \nLearning Objectives:\nAt the conclusion of this presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\n\nOperationalize the construct “least intrusive” as it relates to behavior-change procedures.\nDescribe the problem of superimposition of positive and negative reinforcement.\nExplain when negative reinforcement can be the least intrusive behavior-change solution.\n\n\nPresenter Bio:\nSusan G. Friedman\, Ph.D. is a professor emeritus in the Department of Psychology at Utah State University. Susan has co-authored chapters on behavior change in five veterinary texts\, and her popular articles have been translated into 15 languages. She teaches seminars and a course on animal learning online (Living & Learning With Animals) and consults with zoos and animal organizations around the world. Susan was appointed to the F&WS California Condor Recovery Team from 2002 – 2010\, after which time the team was retired due to the success of the birds in the wild. She is the Chairperson of the Scientific Advisory Committee of American Humane Association (AHA) Film and TV Unit\, and a member in good standing of ABAI\, ABMA\, IAATE and IAABC.

Koocher\, PhD\, ABPP: Why Scientists Cheat: Misconduct in Research\n				Affiliation:\nSenior Associate in Psychology\, Boston Children’s HospitalSenior Lecturer\, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral SciencesFaculty Member\, Center for Bioethics\, Harvard Medical School \nPresentation: Why Scientists Cheat: Misconduct in Research\nAbstract:\nThe reasons for cheating in the scientific community boil down to integrity\, situational demands\, and perceived likelihood of getting caught. Following a review of fundamental triggers of dishonesty\, the most common forms of cheating in scientific research will be described along with more subtle aspects of “bad science\,” investigator bias\, questionable publication and lab practices that diminish the value of research. Using survey data from experienced investigators\, strategies for creating peer situational constraints against bad science will be discussed. Examples of three trusted scientists whose cheating led to significant harm will be presented. \nLearning Objectives:\nAt the conclusion of this presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\n\nIdentify the most common types of scientific dishonesty.\nRecognize and formulate strategies to enhance research integrity in the workplace.\nRecognize and describe at least one well publicized example of scientific misconduct.\n\n\nPresenter Bio:\nGerald P.

SUMMARY:ABACLive Webinar with Russell W. Maguire\, PhD\, BCBA-D\, LABA
DESCRIPTION:Presented through the ABACLive Cambridge Center Series. Helping those who help others\, one live webinar at a time. \nDr. Russell Maguire presents “Introduction to Stimulus Equivalence: Concepts and Practice”\nThursday August 19\, 2021\n12:00 noon – 3:00 pm (Eastern/NY) \nThis event is FREE for the general public.* Or available for the discounted price of $75 with 3 BACB® Learning CEUs. \nRegister on ABAC Website \nAbstract \nStimulus equivalence occurs when stimuli become related to other stimuli when only a few\, but not all\, have been linked via training. The emergence of new relations without training is only one of the efficacious outcomes of stimulus equivalence programming. The purposes of this talk are to provide the attendee the following: First\, a brief history of stimulus equivalence research\, including critical terms\, their definitions and relevant variables; Second\, a review of the important recent experimental research investigating variables that promote the formation of stimulus equivalence; and Third\, presentation of the seminal studies in the nascent field of equivalence based instruction. \nTarget Audience: Professionals for whom the topic is within their scope of practice. We welcome students and others who are also interested in the topic to join us. \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the end of this event\, participants should be able to: \n\n\nSelect the critical training structures used in stimulus equivalence research and rate each in order of efficacy in setting the occasion for the formation of equivalence classes.\nIdentify which members of a conditional discrimination may become members of an equivalence class.\nIdentify the definition of transfer of function and a relevant example.\nIdentify the definition of stimulus control topography coherence theory and a relevant example.\n\n\nPresenter Bio: \nR.W. Maguire is a Behavior Analyst with 40+ years of applied and research experience. He is currently an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Behavior Analysis at Simmons University. Dr. Maguire holds a BA in Psychology\, a MA in Applied Behavior Analysis and a PhD in Experimental Psychology and is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.Dr. Maguire is a published researcher and frequent presenter at local\, state and national professional conferences\, particularly in the areas of stimulus control\, stimulus equivalence and errorless instructional protocols. \n*This event is FREE for the general public.
