This book shows how behavior analysis can be applied to teaching reading and writing to primary school students and to special populations, such as children with intellectual and hearing disabilities and illiterate adults. Originally published in Portuguese, this contributed volume is now translated into English and presents for the first time to international researchers and students a comprehensive overview of a research program developed for more than three decades in Brazil which gave birth to a unique teaching program based on the concept of stimulus equivalence: the Learning to Read and Write in Small Steps. The book is divided into four parts. The first part presents the theoretical f...
Este livro faz parte de uma coletânea de dois volumes sobre leitura e escrita. Neste volume I, 17 pesquisadores, vinculados a seis universidades brasileiras e uma norte-americana, abordam aspectos históricos e conceituais relativos à aprendizagem de leitura e escrita sob a perspectiva da Análise do Comportamento, ciência com forte tradição no Brasil. Procedimentos de ensino, especialmente com o uso do programa Aprendendo a Ler e Escrever em Pequenos Passos (ALEPP), são detalhadamente descritos. De acordo com a Política Nacional de Alfabetização (PNA) o processo de alfabetização deve se basear em evidências científicas, as quais devem nortear a estruturação curricular e práticas de ensino. Esta obra é voltada para alunos de graduação, pós-graduação e profissionais de psicologia e áreas afins. Estes, encontrarão aqui, subsídios para a realização de novas pesquisas e para a tomada de decisões baseadas em evidências, em contextos de ensino de leitura e escrita.
Este livro faz parte de uma coletânea de dois volumes sobre leitura e escrita. Neste volume II, 24 pesquisadores, vinculados a 10 universidades brasileiras, fazem uma síntese de investigações empíricas sobre ensino-aprendizagem de leitura e escrita, com diferentes populações (e.g., adultos, crianças com Deficiência Intelectual e Auditiva), sob a perspectiva da Análise do Comportamento, ciência com forte tradição no Brasil. Diálogos entre essa ciência e outras áreas de conhecimento (fonoaudiologia, linguística e educação) são também apresentados. De acordo com a Política Nacional de Alfabetização (PNA) o processo de alfabetização deve se basear em evidências científicas, as quais devem nortear a estruturação curricular e práticas de ensino.

The Discovery of Spoken Language marks one of the first efforts to integrate the field of infant speech perception research into the general study of language acquisition. It fills in a key part of the acquisition story by providing an extensive review of research on the acquisition of language during the first year of life, focusing primarily on how normally developing infants learn the organization of native language sound patterns. Peter Jusczyk examines the initial capacities that infants possess for discriminating and categorizing speech sounds and how these capacities evolve as infants gain experience with native language input. Jusczyk also looks at how infants' growing knowledge of native language sound patterns may facilitate the acquisition of other aspects of language organization and discusses the relationship between the learner's developing capacities for perceiving and producing speech.
Offering a series of revolutionary intervention programs for applied work in human language and cognition, this text is designed for teachers of students with autism and other developmental disabilities. The book presents a program drawn from derived stimulus relations that can be used to help students of all ages acquire foundational and advanced verbal, social, and cognitive skills.
Animal Creativity and Innovation explores theories and research on animal innovation and creativity, comparing and contrasting it with theory and research on human creativity and innovation. In doing so, it encompasses findings from psychology, biology, neuroscience, engineering, business, ecology, and education. The book includes examples of animal innovation in parrots, dogs, marine mammals, insects, and primates, exploring parallels from creative play in children. The book defines creativity, differentiating it from play, and looks at evolutionary models and neurological constructs. The book further explores applied aspects of animal innovation and creativity including tool use and group ...
A modern epic on a grand scale, Avalovara is a rich and lyrical novel centered around Abel's courtship of three women. He pursues the sophisticated and inaccessible Roos across Europe; falls in love with Cecilia, a carnal, compassionate hermaphrodite; and achieves a tender, erotic alliance with a woman known only by an ideogram. Avalovara is an extraordinary novel, both in its depiction of modern life and in its rigorous, puzzlelike structure visually represented by a spiral and a five-word palindrome.
A generation gap has emerged between parents and their girls. The mothers and fathers of tomorrow’s women have little idea what their daughters are up to sexually or how they feel about it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with more than seventy young women and a wide range of psychologists, academics, and experts, renowned journalist Peggy Orenstein goes where most others fear to tread, pulling back the curtain on the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important possibilities of girls’ sex lives in the modern world.
