| Description: Cigarette smoking has been a worldwide health problem, and Asian countries are of no exception. The proposed workshop will be presented in Chinese language. It consists of (1) an introduction to applied behavior analysis of smoking behavior; (2) the cognitive and physiological aspects of smoking behavior; (3) the current treatment approaches, which include nicotine replacement therapy, acupuncture treatment, and electric stimulation procedures, along with their successful aspects and limitations; (4) objective tests of smoking behavior with the emphasis on carbon monoxide tests (with a classroom demonstration); (5) cessation procedures, of which several several different procedures will be introduced. These include a computer monitor system (life sign) which has an excellent clinical trial record in the U.S. in helping smokers to quit; (6) the A-B-A experimental design; and (7) cultural relevancy and occupations in relation to tobacco detoxification issues. |
| Learning Objectives: To familiarize learners with (1) A-B-Cs of smoking behavior operant conditioning paradigm; (2)basic objective and subjective measurements, (3) Advantages and limitations of various tobacco detoxification procedures, and (4) cognitive behavioral approaches of tobacco cessation with the emphasis on different operant approaches, as well as the cultural influence of tobacco detoxification. |
| Activities: The workshop will provide demonstrations of how to use CO tests and computer monitor systems. |
| Audience: Health educators and clinicians |

| OBM: What It Is and How to Do It |
| Sunday, November 27, 2005 |
| 9:00 AM–12:00 PM |
| Pudong |
| Area: OBM; Domain: Applied Behavior Analysis |
| CE Instructor: John Austin, M.Ed. |
| JOHN AUSTIN (Western Michigan University) |
| Description: This workshop will: 1. Cover the basic principles of organizational behavior management (OBM);also known as Performance Management (PM) 2. Cover the steps involved in conducting a PM project to improveorganizational performance. The principles and techniques covered will include: pinpointing, measurement techniques and evaluation designs, diagnosing performance problems, behavioral interventions such as positive reinforcement, feedback, goal setting, and behavioral systems analysis. |
| Learning Objectives: 1. Describe the basic PM/OBM approach. 2. Describe in detail, and explain how to do accomplish the steps involved in conducting a PM project. 3. Demonstrate skill in finding valuable organizational pinpoints 4. Demonstrate skill in diagnosing performance problems 5. Describe some techniques and considerations of delivering reinforcement at work 6. Describe some techniques and considerations of delivering feedback at work 7. Describe some techniques and considerations for setting goals at work 8. Describe some techniques of behavioral systems analysis |
| Activities: The workshop will consist of a combination of didactic coursework/lecture, and participant exercises for each component of each learning objective. Ideally, participants will arrive with some work-related expertise so they can develop a plan to address the performance problems. However, this is not necessary for attendance, as sample work problems can be provided. |
| Audience: The content will be appropriate for managers, practitioners, employees, and/or students. Attendees who have no experience in or knowledge of behavior analysis should prepare by reading a book such as Aubrey Daniels (1989) Performance management; or Leslie Wilk Braksick's (2000) Unlock behavior; unleash profits. |

| The Smart & Sensitive Parenting Program (SSPP): Teaching Parents How to Effectively Deal with Their Children's Behavioral Difficulties |
| Sunday, November 27, 2005 |
| 1:00 PM–4:00 PM |
| Pudong |
| Area: CBM/DDA; Domain: Applied Behavior Analysis |
| CE Instructor: Amos E. Rolider, M.D. |
| AMOS E. ROLIDER (Emek Yezreel College, Israel) |
| Description: In this workshop, a unique parent group training model entitled SSPP (The Smart & Sensitive Parenting Program), which emphasizes teaching parents to rearrange significant context variables and to discover the triggers and functions of their children's most-burdensome behaviors will be presented. Parents subsequently learn to identify the function of their own responses to their children's inappropriate behaviors and are trained to select and apply effective and doable interventions based on their discovery of triggers and maintaining consequences. |
| Learning Objectives: The following will be discussed and demonstrated : 1. Identifying behaviors and typical parental responses associated with: a. The termination of a preferred activity of reinforcer. b. Refusal or inability to provide a preferred activity or reinforcer. c. Demand situations d. Transition from preferred activity to non-preferred activity e. Elicited emotional outbursts 2. The importance of preparing an established weekly schedule and set of expectations, and the role of: a. The weekly family meeting b. The daily family meeting 3. Preparing children for challenging triggers and difficult situations. 4. Selecting an appropriate response based on the function of the inappropriate behavior. |
| Activities: We will practice Using the model how to deal with children's most common inappropriate behaviors: � Bickering and refusal � Tantrums and aggression � Over-dependence � School-related problems � Other problems ( Participants requests) |
| Audience: Practitioners who work with or have interest in working with parents of children who exhibit a variety of behavioral issues |
