“…Fourth, comparing publication of BA and psychoanalytic research may be misplaced as instances of the latter likely exceed those of the former for several reasons, such as greater number of researchers, studies, and broader acceptance in the popular culture. Regarding the first argument, an alternative means of selecting search terms would be to use a word counter, such as Coh-Metrix (McNamara, Louwerse, Cai, & Graesser, 2013), which indicates such aspects as concreteness, imageability, and meaningfulness (Diller, Salters-Pedneault, & Gallagher, 2014). Such tools, however, are not culturally relevant to Brazil as their sources are based on a culture quite distinct from its own.…”

“…On the other, since its foundation, behavior analysis has been haunted by the specter of isolation (Catania, 2008;Herrnstein, 1987;Laties, 1987Laties, , 2008Lindsley, 1987;Skinner, 1987). Isolation occurs inside the BA community, for example, when researchers from different areas and practitioners are unaware of each other's studies, methodologies, and practices (Diller, Salters-Pedneault, & Gallagher, 2014;Elliott, Morgan, Fuqua, Ehrhardt, & Poling, 2005;Poling, Alling, & Fuqua, 1994;Poling, Picker, Grossett, Hall-Johnson, & Holbrook, 1981). A more optimistic perspective, however, can be found in Virues-Ortega, Hurtado-Parrado, Cox, and Pear (2014).…”

Recent studies have stressed the importance of disseminating behavior analysis to a more diverse audience and have provided ways to do so effectively. General science publications offer an attractive venue for communicating with a scientifically educated public. The present study examines behavior analysis research published in Science Today and Research Fapesp, monthly general science publications published by the Brazilian Society for the Advancement of Science and São Paulo Research Foundation, respectively. Behavior analytic terms were searched in issues published from 2003 to 2014, along with psychoanalytic terms as a comparative measure. Only 13 behavior analysis articles were found, while psychoanalytic articles totaled 150. Six of the behavior analysis articles misconstrue fundamental concepts of behavior analysis. The study recommends that behavior analysis researchers extend the dissemination of their findings outside the box.

“…Thus, behaviorists can contribute with instructional models that probabilize environments and conditions for a creative, varied and effective learning in a wide range of disciplinary and life domains (Irigoyen, Acuña, & Jiménez, 2017;Ribes, 2008), but, these behavioral analysts will have to guide their effective educational methodologies to the necessities and characteristics of conventional education (Kieta, Cihon, & Abdel-Jalil, 2018) and improve the use of language that allows a more precise, meaningful and more friendly understanding of the communications of their findings in specialized journals, especially in behavioral analysis journals (Diller, Salters-Pedneault, & Gallagher, 2014).…”

Seventeen first-year Secondary School students with low levels of reading comprehension of mystery and horror stories, received training during two weeks in 50-minutes daily sessions. The structural planning was sequentially organized, in four types of teaching -learning situations going from lower to higher level of complexity. The instruction was implemented in accordance with four types of achievement levels: linked to the object, linked to the situation, non-linked to the operation, and non-linked to present situation. The results throughout the intervention revealed that in the two first levels (object-linked and operation-linked), average scores above 90% of achievement were obtained. In the two operation -non-linked levels (particular and present situation non-linked), averages scores between 73 and 76% of achievement were reached. Likewise, a significant change (p = 0.005) was found in a previous and post-evaluation of a school curricular unit for the group intervention, with no significant differences for the control group.

“…How should we speak and write about behavior analysis, both when communicating within behavior analysis or with the members of the general population is an ongoing concern in the field (Diller, Salters-Pedneault, & Gallagher, 2014;Freedman, 2016;Friman, 2014aFriman, , 2014bHayes, 1991;Hineline, 2005;Morris, 1985Morris, , 2014Reed, 2014;Smith, 2016;Tuomisto & Parkkinen, 2012). Rather than present another discussion article or tutorial, Becirevic, Critchfield, and Reed asked the general public's opinion about behavioral terminology and possible alternatives.…”

With this issue, we continue to shape TBA into a scholarly journal befitting its place as ABAI's flagship publication. We are moving forward with new policies streamlining ethics disclosures and the criteria for types of articles that TBA will publish. This issue features papers that expand the scope of behavior analysis, tutor us in advances in behavioral theory, and take us beyond the page. We hope that these articles and new formats will instruct and inspire even better research or applied work. TBA Policy ChangesBeginning with this issue, we will institute two policy changes. One concerns conflict of interest and ethics, and the other reduces and redefines the types of articles that will appear in TBA.
