Behaviour Analysis | Habit Research | Neuroscience | Psychology- Humans & Animals
We have recorded our first full podcast which discusses the concept of abstinence and how we can construct new habits. Neuroscience, psychology and behaviour analysis are not joining up with their research which means that there are some quite significant gaps to our understanding of addiction and habits. Here we talk about Stimulus-Response learning and dopamine spikes. The type of habit/addiction is...
My name is Georgina, I am a PhD researcher, clinical behaviour analyst and my specialist area of interest is habitual responding in humans. I am delighted to announce that today I have launched my new podcast series on habitual behaviour in humans. I will be interviewing people from various backgrounds who are successful in their fields and able to share some of...
Introduction Here we will consider the role of context and the evidence supporting its role in habits such as eating, smoking and online shopping. Most research has focused on eating behaviour; however, we are interested in the findings from eating, smoking and online shopping to understand if the mechanism is indeed standardised for three topographies. This is an important area for research...
Behavioural momentum theory (BMT) looks at how persistent a behaviour is in relation to its reinforcement history. The theory states that reinforcers increase the persistence of behaviour in the face of disrupters, distraction or discontinuation of reinforcement. The persistence of a target response is increased by alternative reinforcers that are presented in that situation regardless of whether they are contingent on that...

The solution to most behaviour problems in dogs is simple and IF you adhere to the following. The principle is simple- dogs repeat behaviours that are reinforced. That means that if your puppy or adult dog behaves in a certain way (that is undesirable to you), by say barking at you through the back door (when he’s outside and you’re inside),...
Genetic, Neurological, Medical & Behavioural Overview Of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) The Brain Behaviour Research Council has many membership benefits. One of which is a meet the speaker event each month to hear the latest research on particular areas related to the brain and behaviour. As a masters student in ABA (applied behaviour analysis) it is pertinent to review such research and...

(N.B: we are talking about respondent & NOT operant procedures) Responses occur due to environmental stimuli which have unlearned (or phylogenic) provenance. Examples: Reflexes Kineses Taxis Fixed Action Patterns Reflexes are the responses between a stimulus (antecedent) and a reflex. This is a stimulus response (or S-R) relationship. A simple example of a reflex would be, when a dog sees food, he...
To understand the effects of antecedents (triggers/stimuli), we need to be clear about motivating operations and discriminitative stimuli (SD). Behaviour is maintained by its consequences. Please see previous article which sets out the fundamental and dimensional properties which underly this subject as a science: What Is behaviour (Introduction To ABA) This article will provide working examples where possible and explanation to help with...
