  • Results indicated three distinct patterns of responding: 1) alternative behavior was never emitted during the DRA component (two participants), 2) only the alternative behavior was emitted during the DRA component (one participant), and 3) both the target and the alternative behaviors were emitted during the DRA component (one participant). (abainternational.org)

  • We use data on stock market participation of Swedish adoptees and relate this to the investment behavior of both their biological and adoptive parents. (lu.se)
  • Although previous research has evaluated the effects of treatment integrity failures in many areas of applied behavior analysis, the effects of these failures in the area of pediatric feeding disorders remain unknown. (abainternational.org)
  • We overview the relationship between parental criminality and incarceration and adolescent antisocial behavior, discuss how these factors might be linked through parenting, place this link within the context of the life course development of antisocial behavior, and then discuss interventions that might make a difference in improving outcomes for the children of incarcerated parents. (hhs.gov)
  • It is also possible to analyze the underlying factors that contribute to behavior in C. elegans , because it has a relatively simple and well-defined nervous system. (elifesciences.org)
  • This suggests that a substantial proportion of the transmission of risk behavior from parents to children is environmentally determined. (lu.se)
  • QS relies on the production, accumulation, detection, and population-wide response to extracellular signal molecules called autoinducers (AI). (wadsworth.org)
  • The Association for Behavior Analysis International® (ABAI) is a nonprofit membership organization with the mission to contribute to the well-being of society by developing, enhancing, and supporting the growth and vitality of the science of behavior analysis through research, education, and practice.

  • Association between overweight and fat accumulation around waist was tested considering the variables: sexual maturaten stage, income level, number of siblings, maternal Body Mass Index (BMI) and physical activity. (bvsalud.org)
  • To study computations that underlie these dynamic behaviors, we must employ tasks that resemble moderately complex naturalistic environments, striking a balance between recapitulating the rich dynamics of the world and exerting control over task variables. (jneurosci.org)
  • This study evaluated the effects differential reinforcement of alternative behavior on response persistence. (abainternational.org)
  • The study of optics includes understanding the behavior of visible, infrared and ultraviolet light. (compadre.org)
  • Your students can look at 12 optical illusions, play around with dozens of interactive simulations related to light behavior, and find scientific definitions of all the vocabulary associated with light and optics. (compadre.org)
  • Some authors have shown the type of obesity with fat accumulation around the waist is associated with higher risk of metabolic diseases 7 . (bvsalud.org)
  • Thus, to the extent that risk-taking behavior is correlated with wealth, these behaviors can exacerbate or mitigate wealth inequality over time. (lu.se)
  • 2 Recent research in gene-mapping suggests that specific genes are associated with risk attitudes and risk- taking behavior. (lu.se)
  • Clinical, radiographic and laboratory tests were performed to verify the oral health conditions which showed the presence of biofilm accumulation, gingivitis and a high DMFT index. (bvsalud.org)
  • The coding identified 3 themes: 1- Partnership 2- Technical preparedness of the health workers 3- Health seeking behavior and health provision culture. (who.int)
  • Results are expected to replicate previous research on treatment integrity that demonstrates that errors of commission and omission can have a detrimental effect on treatment if the schedule of reinforcement favors inappropriate behavior. (abainternational.org)
  • Results support the utility of restructuring meals to include less pause-inducing transitions during meals to produce orderly pause duration across transitions, reduce overall meal duration, and reduce other inappropriate mealtime behavior. (abainternational.org)

  • The emergence of altruistic behavior constitutes one of the most widely studied problems in evolutionary biology and behavioral science. (frontiersin.org)
  • Specifically, while self-transcendent values predict perceived importance and pro-environmental behavior across all three information conditions, the effect on policy support is less clear. (springer.com)
  • Furthermore, we detected a "reactance effect" where individuals with self-enhancing values who read local information thought that climate change was less important and were less willing to engage in pro-environmental behavior and support policy than self-enhancing individuals in the other information conditions. (springer.com)
  • Putting such general recommendations to empirical test, our data suggest that the effectiveness of providing local climate information to elicit pro-environmental behavior and policy support may well depend on people's underlying value orientations. (springer.com)
