Written by prominent experts in language and cognition, this revolutionary behaviour analysis textbook brings the study of oral behaviour into the 21st century with leading-edge research. Clinicians and students in the burgeoning field of applied behaviour analysis will find the theoretical foundation they need to effectively assist the increasingly diverse clients seeking their services.
The origins of behavior analysis can be traced to the new work of B.F. Skinner. Skinner’s fundamental visions into how human behavior is shaped, maintained, and can be changed were far-reaching and powerful. Some of Skinner’s most groundbreaking contributions were in the study of language. Behaviour analytic work in the sphere of language and cognition did not stop with Skinner, though. Indeed, Skinner’s work in this domain has inspired considerable expansion, mainly with an eye toward more sophisticated verbal and cognitive collections.
This important volume offers an overview of the concepts and core behavioral processes engaged in language and cognition. You’ll find a deeper exploration of complex cognitive and linguistic skills, including learning by observation, generative responding, and perspective-taking. Also incorporated are clinically supported interventions based in mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and emotion regulation to assist clients to improve complex language, social, and academic skills.
The prospect of behaviour analysis is here. With its emphasis on the importance of language and cognition, Applied Behavior Analysis of Language and Cognition, (PDF) is a must-read for anyone studying or practising in the science of behavior.
