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...
Latin America has increased its share of world scientific publications by nearly twofold during the last two decades (approximately from 2 to 4%). Despite this positive trend, the scholarly impact of scientific research produced in the region - measured in terms of citation rate - remains low. Two interrelated factors that contribute to this situation is that most research groups tend to work in isolation or in local sporadic collaboration, and results are often published in journals that are not indexed in major citation databases (e.g., SCOPUS, or Web of Science). Ultimately, part of Latin American high-quality research seems to remain hidden from the rest of the world. Over the last decad...
This book presents and discusses seven contemporary theoretical approaches to behavior analysis that build upon the foundations laid by B.F. Skinner’s radical behaviorism and renew its legacy. These contemporary approaches show that behaviorism is not a monolithic or static intellectual tradition, but a dynamic movement, which changes and adapts in face of new questions, issues, and perspectives. The death of behaviorism has been proclaimed since its early days – a “premature” assessment, to say the least – but this volume shows that behaviorism is alive and kicking, even thirty years after its main proponent passed away. This volume contains seven sections, each one dedicated to a...
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.

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.

Esta coletânea sintetiza resultados de um programa de mais de 15 anos de pesquisa, desenvolvido pelo atual Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia sobre Comportamento, Cognição e Ensino (INCT-ECCE). Baseada em um modelo comportamental de relações simbólicas, a obra combina investigação básica com aplicação ao desenvolvimento e remediação de repertórios simbólicos. Este material será útil para interessados na compreensão da função simbólica e/ou na aplicação deste conhecimento para a promoção dessa importante função, seja em pessoas com desenvolvimento típico ou com desenvolvimento atípico.
