O ano de 2021 é muito especial para a comunidade analítico-comportamental brasileira, pois se comemoram os 50 anos da chegada do professor Fred Keller no país. Atualmente, o Brasil é o maior centro de Análise do Comportamento depois dos Estados Unidos e, como a literatura revela, os analistas do comportamento brasileiros publicam nos melhores periódicos nacionais e internacionais. No Brasil, a história da Análise do Comportamento se confunde com a história da Psicologia enquanto profissão, formação e ciência. A literatura indica que a expansão e institucionalização da Análise do Comportamento podem ser verificadas de diversas formas, como: as traduções realizadas, as organ...
Este livro foi idealizado a partir de uma paixão comum dos três organizadores: a Análise Experimental do Comportamento. A ideia geral consiste em apresentar, a estudantes de graduação, diversos temas de pesquisa em Análise do Comportamento por meio de experimentos clássicos. A análise experimental geralmente é considerada um terreno árido, com descrições metodológicas difíceis e um certo “desprendimento” das questões do dia a dia. Estes fatores, em nossa opinião, dificultam o contato e até mesmo o interesse de estudantes iniciantes pelo laboratório e pela pesquisa experimental sobre o comportamento. Buscando inspiração em livros de divulgação cient...
O Mato Grosso do Sul é um estado conhecido por sua extensão territorial, sua biodiversidade e sua complexidade sociocultural. Tamanha diversidade nos presenteia com novas contingências a serem conhecidas e investigadas. Por outro lado, a distância física entre os centros universitários e o escasso número de analistas do comportamento, são um desafio ao entrelaçamento de contingências que fortaleçam e sustentem uma prática cultural analítica comportamental no estado. Uma das estratégias para suplantar tais dificuldades foram a realização de eventos científicos como as Jornadas de Análise do Comportamento (JAC). Em 2019 houve a A IV Jornada de Análise do Comportamento do Mat...
"At the root of many controversies surrounding therapy is one key question: What works? Is efficacy based on the singular curative powers of specialized techniques, or do other variables account for patient change? This book proposes the answer, which is not to be found in the languages, theories, or procedural differences of the field's warring camps. Instead, the answer lies in pantheoretical, or common factors--the ingredients of effective therapy shared by all orientations. /// More than 40 yrs of outcome research is pointing the way to what really matters in the therapist's day-to-day work. The editors have assembled researchers and practitioners in the field to analyze the extensive li...
Psychoneuroimmunology, Second Edition presents reports on the relationship between the nervous and immune systems. The book is divided into four sections. The first section details the role of neural structures and neurotransmitter signals in communication with the immune system. It documents the extensive neural connections with organs of the immune system; the dynamics of noradrenergic sympathetic innervation of spleen and thymus; and the evidence for immune signaling of the CNS. Part II elaborates the role of hormones in the modulation of immune functions; the basis for bidirectional communication between the neuroendocrine and immune systems; and the potential physiological implications ...
Interpersonal Regulation of Learning and Motivation is the first book in the field to focus on major methodological advances in research on interpersonal regulation of learning and motivation. Interest in developing ways of capturing the dynamics of interpersonal regulation in real-life learning interactions is growing rapidly. Understanding these dynamics is particularly timely given the increased use of collaborative learning activities in schools and university settings, as well as through face-to-face and computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments. While groups and collections of individuals in social interaction are expected to bring their own motivations and goals to...
