| North 129 A |
| Chair: Josh Pritchard (University of Nevada, Reno) |
| Presenting Authors: |
| After having just being born, the Dissemination of Behavior Analysis SIG is ready to begin taking its first few steps during infancy– come watch while we unfold what has occurred during its first year of life, and help plan the future of this exciting new special interest group! We will have a brief presentation of the past year, some acknowledgements/awards to those who have contributed to its mission, and discussion of any items of interest to the members. The reinforcers for disseminating behavior analysis have been absent for too long. Too many behaviorists undergo extinction bursts and eventual loss of their proselytizing zeal for the field due to cognitive constructs like 'self-reinforcement.' (Heck – if you’re studying “self-reinforcement” you’re welcome too!) Is dissemination related to you? Take our brief abstract-sized survey: would you like to be a part of a burgeoning movement that is increasing acceptance of empirically validated, behavior analytic science in different areas of application? If you answered yes to this question – then this SIG is for you! Not a member? No problem! This meeting is especially relevant to YOU! Please join us and share your ideas, catch our enthusiasm, and talk about taking our science to the streets. All people attending this meeting will be granted FREE membership immediately. Think this description is full of flash but lacking in content? We especially need you and your ideas for dissemination! |
