  1. Reticulated Science Steven C. Hayes, University of Nevada

  2. The Purpose of ACBS Creating a psychology more adequate to the challenge of the human condition

  3. Where CBS Started: Behavior Analysis Philosophical clarity Basic principles from the lab Inductive extensions using functional analysis Time series designs evaluating extensions

  4. Why That is Not Enough GU AGE LAN N LAN GU AGE What do you do when you hit a wall? NI N TION COG NI TION COG NI E LAN GU AGE LAN GU AGE COG G NI TION COG NI TION U AGE LAN GU AGE LAN GU N COG NI TION COG NI TION LAN GU AGE LAN LAN GU AGE

  5. The CBS Strategy Rearrange the relation between applied and basic psychology

  6. You Cannot Turn This Over to Someone Else The CBS approach: Applied and basic psychologists need to take responsibility for each other and for the field as a whole

  7. ACT in Silence RCTs on ACT by Year

  8. Its Not Bottom Up vs Top Down It’s reticulated development versus silos

  9. Context Theory of Cognition 1. Mutual Entailment Manipulable variables linked to actions of importance This is controlled by history and context Limoo Betrang 2. Combinatorial Entailment

  10. Betrang salivation salivation sour sour bumpy bumpy yellow yellow lemonade lemonade citrus citrus Functions Manipulable variables linked to actions of importance This is controlled by history and context 3. Transformation of Functions

  11. 10 10 10 5 5 5 And thus that a dime is “bigger than” a nickel & is worth more Good good If then A Classic Example all Parents Know A child learns that a nickel is “smaller than” a dime

  12. Maybe it is operant behavior View it as a contextual controlled relational response, based originally on multiple exemplar training Our Fence-Post DumbBehavioral Idea

  13. It Can Be Trained Berens and Hayes, JABA, 2008

  14. It Makes a Difference Given A < B < C; Shocks to B Dougher et al., JEAB, 2007

  15. The Applied  Basic Gambit Found a New Way Forward Expand Behavioral Principles to Account for Human Language and Cognition: Relational Frame Theory

  16. Liberalized Language Practitioners need middle level terms. These needs to be linked to basic principles and integrated into models and theories.

  19. IAT versus IRAPSarah Roddy, Ian Stewart & Dermot Barnes-Holmes Relation to behavioral intentions R2 Above Explicit Anti-Fat Attitudes R2 Above Feelings toward Fat People .1 .1 IRAP IRAP .05 .05 IAT IAT

  20. ExampleJared Chase dissertation 3 Group RCT: Wait list, Goal-Setting, Values plus Goal-Setting Adjusted Cumulative GPA 3.2 Now add: Values plus Goal Setting 3.15 Values plus Goal Setting (N = 51) Goal Setting Alone (N = 48) 3.1 Wait list (N = 33) Psych Majors Not in Study (N = 447) 3.05 Beginning Spring 2009 End Spring 2009 End Fall 2009

  21. YOU HERE NOW I THEN THERE Deictic Frames

  22. Perspective Taking Self Self-as-context

  23. Figure 6. Within subject analysis for Abu. Multiple baseline across levels of Complexity includes data series for each deictic relational frame. The lower panel represents Theory of Mind probe percentages.

  24. Relation of Deictic Framing to Theory of Mind Performance
