Criminal Behaviorology

Two Speakers on Behavior Analysis (Novel Uses of ABA)

In a recent webinar on the Novel Uses of Applied Behavior Analysis, we have presentations from two very accomplished speakers. Kent Corso, PsyD, BCBA-D, has worked in the areas of suicidality, health and military applications, and has been a guest on a previous episode. Vanessa Bethea-Miller, MA, BCBA, provides details regarding the juvenile justice population and how behavior analysis can make a difference. Kent begins at 04:55 and ends about 39:04. Vanessa begins at 40:31 and winds up the podcast.

Corso Highlights:

- How the research on behavior analysis has focused on such a small percentage of the population.

- “Demand Signals” regarding where behavior analytic research could be useful. Options for the future dissemination of behavior analysis.

- The importance of publishing in non-ABA journals and communicating respectfully and efficiently with those outside the field.

Bethea-Miller Highlights:

- Defining juvenile justice in behavioral terms.

- Statistics and pertinent facts regarding this population.

- Research on methods of treatment.

- Token reinforcement and contingency management programs.

- Switching from a reactive to a preventive model.
