Now that the leaves are almost all fallen in New England, it must be time for a new round of ABA Inside Track episodes to keep you busy during awkward pauses at the Thanksgiving table. After a discussion of our whirlwind Octobers of conferences and business trips, we get to business with a review from Jackie of how video feedback can be used as a powerful self-monitoring tool. Then we ask our friend/SLP/BCBA, Rose Griffin, from ABA Speech to explain gestalt language processing models and where on the Brodhead flowchart of "jump on the table to decry a lack of evidence-base" it might put us. Finally, Jackie takes a spin in the host chair to ask Rob all about strategies to improve the uptake of classroom management systems in classrooms when just showing teachers the data on Good Behavior Game can't quite move the needle. Plus, a quick review of themed Mexican restaurant, Casa Bonita!

Email us at abainsidetrack@gmail.com for further assistance. Sure, B.F. Skinner's work is THE keystone for everything we do in behavior analysis. But, that's all just boring "into to ABA" history, right? Well, Dr. Judah Axe, president of the B.F. Skinner Foundation, begs to differ (and we totally agree!). In this episode we discuss two of Dr. Axe's favorite writings by Skinner, from superstition to problem solving, and how so many of his analyses are still relevant to the behavior analysts of today. We know you'll enjoy rekindling your BFF-ship with BF. If you're interested in learning more about B.F. Skinner's legacy and how his impact is still felt in the field, check out the Skinner Sessions courtesty of the B.F. Skinner Foundation.

Is this is your 10th review of loading the problem loader? Or have you been too scared to utilize shaping because you've never mastered the art of the approximation? This episode goes from the basic steps in teaching more complex physical behaviors all the way to the nuances of verbal responding. Y'know, just like shaping.

Participants will describe the most vital components of shaping in clinical work. Participants will describe how to use targeting and shaping to teach a clinical skill.

October 2026 Preview
The podcast is coming out a few days early just to give you a little more time to get tickets to one (or more) of some of our favorite conference events of the year. Not enough time to book a flight, sadly. But, if you're in the area, we strongly encourage you to check out one of the options we discuss in the episode. The only thing scary about this month is how to find time to attend all of the amazing conferences, talks, and events given by some of the best minds in behavior analysis! But whether you're attending BABAT, the Thompson Center for Autism Conference, the latest Skinner Session, IABS's ABA in Public Schools Conference, or all of the above, you'll have a bunch of new episodes from ABA Inside Track to enjoy during your commutes. First we go back to basics with a sucessively approximate review of shaping procedures. After that, returning guest, Dr. Judah Axe, shares some of his favorite articles by B.F. Skinner and why studying from the field's OG still holds meaning in the modern day. And then we all sit criss-cross applesauce and discuss what makes for a good circle time and what do do when your circle goes pear-shaped. So, get thee to a behavior analytic conference, after downloading our new episodes, of course. And, who knows...you might even see us there in person!

Jackie and Diana lead a discussion of what is known about utilizing peer feedback to improve learning and training outcomes.
