Hi Autumn Sorrells, I would be really grateful too if you could contribute to the trials and testings since it would bring us more accurate info about the products instead of using animals. Would it be possible? Thanks in advance!

This deserves way more likes!

Check out more of the discussions these two have recorded: ruclips.net/video/OGKDNygDq3k/видео.html

So cool!!!!!

A radical behaviorist’s procedure for emotional control, quickly refutable with a good swift kick. The ideal for any scientist with a great idea is to be able to explain it in a minute, and to confirm or falsify it as quickly. The world record for this arguably goes to the English philosopher Samuel Johnson, who rejected Archbishop Berkeley’s argument that material things only exist in one’s mind by striking his foot against a large stone while proclaiming, “I refute it thusly!” Here is a similarly novel and useful idea that can be confirmed or refuted with a proverbial large kick, and with it an implicit criticism of behavior analysis, and why radical behaviorism is so important. Basic Facts: Endogenous opioids are induced when we eat, drink, have sex, and relax. Their affective correlate, or how it ‘feels’, is a sense of pleasure. Fun Fact: When we are concurrently perceiving some activity that has a variable and unexpected rate of reward while consuming something pleasurable, opioid activity increases and with it a higher sense of pleasure. In other words, popcorn tastes better when we are watching an exciting movie than when we are watching paint dry. The same effect occurs when we are performing highly variable rewarding or meaningful activity (creating art, doing good deeds, doing productive work) while in a pleasurable relaxed state. (Meaning would be defined as behavior that has branching novel positive implications). This is commonly referred to as ‘flow’ or ‘peak’ experience. So why does this occur? Dopamine-Opioid interactions: or the fact that dopamine activity (elicited by positive novel events, and responsible for a state of arousal, but not pleasure) interacts with our pleasures (as reflected by mid brain opioid systems), and can actually stimulate opioid release, which is reflected in self-reports of greater pleasure. Proof (or kicking the stone): Just get relaxed using a relaxation protocol such as mindfulness, and then follow it by exclusively attending to or performing meaningful activity, and avoiding all distraction. Keep it up and you will not only stay relaxed, but continue so with a greater sense of wellbeing or pleasure. A Likely Explanation, as if you need one! A more formal explanation from a neurologically based learning theory (i.e. a radical behaviorism) of this technique is provided on pp. 44-51 in a little open-source book on the psychology of rest linked below. (The flow experience is discussed on pp. 81-86.) The book is based on the work of the distinguished affective neuroscientist Kent Berridge, who was kind to review for accuracy and endorse the work. Implications for behavior analysts: The modulation of affect is ‘schedule dependent’, and moves in degree with the variability of reinforcement schedules and the discriminative aspects of reinforcers (i.e. their cognitive implications). Unlike behavior analytic approaches to affect such as RFT and its therapeutic offspring ACT, affect is not modulated by highly complex and inferred private cognitive manipulations, but rather by abstract properties of very simple and public response contingencies. Finally, by ignoring how affective salience is dependent upon abstract properties of reinforcement contingencies and how simple patterns of information can enhance or depress affective states from arousal to pleasure, behavior analysts have merely opened the door to competing mentalistic perspectives on many key affective aspects of life, reframed as ‘intrinsic motivation], ‘flow’ or meditative experiences and much more, making psychology into more a matter of creating taxonomies of ghostly motives untethered to reality than creating understanding, and diminishing the importance of behavior analysis in psychology.

Interesting. I remember her doing an interview about how they were weren't THAT relevant in changing behavior. I'm glad to see the change. It's good to see a leader in the dog training industry discuss what many of us have been told to not discuss by leaders in the dog training industry.

For the algorithmmm yoooo

For the algorithmmm yoooo

What a change in her approach!!! Affect was a word avoided by her. Soon she will be discussing "raw affect" like many of us already are. I remember posting on Emotional Systems and behavior before and was met with criticism. The science of a Bottom Up approach to changing behaviors is already here. ##affectivedogbehavior

So glad this one is out there! Thanks again Rachel Ryan!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Great interview with Annie. Learned a lot more about the Oculus Headset. It was great to have Anne share so about VR and AR! piqued my interest even more. I probably am going to purchase the headset soon...

Beat Sabre is the best!

Love animal ABA and Love listening to Christy Alligood speak! Thank you, Ryan!!! Animal ABA is not easy to dive into, as an already established BCBA wanting to shift from humans, but exciting that it is possible. Working with my local wildlife care center to establish relationships and experience; inspired by Christy!

What if instead of just defending behaviorism, but accept other proven sciences and work WITH each other? I take everything I have learned about behaviorism, psychology, neuroscience and use it to better understand the WHOLE animal. Everything can be build upon each other to improve relationships and then behaviors.

Annie and the BehaviorMe team are trying to redefine the role of contingencies and shaping in behavior analysis - ambitious as hell, and looking forward to see where it goes! Been following for a while! :)

They're completely re-thinking the behavior analyst's role - I love this! Good luck to y'all Adam et al!

Ahhhh, technology. It is the future, and it's coming very quickly. The implications here are so cool!

Dear Ken Ramirez. You're an inspiration. I would LOVE to discuss more about this with you. Redirection is a natural thing with dogs. As well with people. Verbal communication gets in our way. I notice it with people. There's soooooo many things I would to show you about my work. In groups. Here in San Francisco. I'll be presenting in in Lebanon Oregon that same weekend as CHATTcon. We start one day before. Scott Stauffer Your Bay Area K9 Life Coach 530.917.6712 Dogtraining2nd2no1@yahoo.com

Last year he kind of blew my mind - teaching animals to change migration patterns to avoid poachers? DAMN. That's some serious skill!

Last year she totally knocked me off of my feet! It was pretty unreal - can't WAIT for this year! :)

Susan is a hero of mine. The embodiment of "convergence" in every way possible!

I FEEL SO LUCKY TO BE A PART OF THIS! And damn, is Christy not the staple of this theme or WHAT?

The leading edge of human and animal training. I find this ironic considering how many ABA therapist adamantly deny training children and adults.

I'm very interested in being a presenter. How can I do this? 😊 This has been my life work.

shame about the audio, and, possibly her diction. Very hard to hear her well.

What behavior do you shape?
