Session 106: Inside JABA Series #2, Big Idea Papers and Their Impact

Inside JABA Series:  Big Ideas and Their Impact

CE Instructor: Linda A. LeBlanc PhD, BCBA-D

CE Offering: 1.0

The editorial of the Winter 2020 issue of JABA focuses on the power of big ideas and the papers that have presented those ideas. LeBlanc provides her definition of a big idea paper as one that focuses on a conceptual framework or idea rather than a specific data set.  These ideas tend to be broadly applicable across many aspects of behavior analysis. Each of the panelists discusses one of the big idea papers from JABA that has influenced their career and how they think about some aspect of behavior analysis. A discussion article from the Winter issue is also discussed with the author of that paper, Danielle LaFrance.  The paper focuses on the value of using two different terms (MEI, MET) distinctly for different procedures that result in different effects rather than using the phrases as synonyms.  She described each term, the procedure, and the conceptual underpinnings for why the effects of the two procedures differ.

Objectives:

  • Attendees will be able to describe features of a big idea paper according to LeBlanc’s definition.
  • Attendees will be able to identify one of the big idea papers discussed in the podcast and one reason the paper was/is influential.
  • Attendees will be able to identify the differences between MEI and MET.
