This podcast episode explores the potential of games to support neurodiverse populations. We define games and discuss their essential attributes. Examples are provided of how games have been successfully incorporated into ABA therapy for autistic individuals to build skills and engagement. We discuss the future possibilities for the nexus of games, and AI to create adaptable, empowering experiences uniquely suited to different neurotypes. Researchers see promise in using data-driven, personalized games to complement traditional interventions.

In the present podcast, we dive deep into the intriguing interplay between artificial intelligence and applied behavior analysis (ABA). In today's conversation, we're joined by a leading technologist Dave Stevens. We explore how A.I. might reshape the landscape of behavioral interventions. From tailored ABA programs powered by predictive algorithms to data-driven insights enhancing treatment plans, A.I. could amplify the precision and effectiveness of behavior analysis. We also discuss potential challenges and the exciting possibilities that arise when cutting-edge technology meets the science of behavior.

Drawing upon the profound insights from the article, "Breaking the Structuralist Barrier", we discuss the principles of selectionism and explore how the principles have been actualized in the Morningside Model of Generative Instruction, a behavioral program with remarkable results on adult literacy and children's learning and attention issues. We review Morningside curricula, analyzing their key component elements and foundational tool skills. We also dive into teaching methodologies that focus on fostering component behaviors to achieve fluency, culminating in the emergence of new and complex repertoires often with minimal instruction.

Cognitive psychology and the Cognitive Load Theory are explained through a behavior-analytic perspective. Cognitive Load Theory posits that working memory has a limited capacity, much like a bucket that can only hold so much water before it overflows. But how does the theory fare when we delve into it through the lens of behavior analysis? In the conversation, we discuss the behavior-analytic interpretations of cognitive load, offering insights into how our environment and learning experiences can shape the way our cognitive 'bucket' gets filled. We also shed light on how educators and individuals can leverage an understanding of cognitive load from a behavior analytic standpoint to optimize learning and task performance.

"The Steep and Thorny Way to a Science of Behavior" by B.F. Skinner presents a fascinating exploration of the challenges and importance of developing a science of behavior. Skinner discusses several challenges in developing a science of behavior such as digression (defined as the tendency to get sidetracked from the study of behavior by other fields such as philosophy or theology). Additionally, Skinner raises questions about the nature and location of the observer or "knower" in relation to the organism being studied. The podcast reviews Skinner's article and provides an exploration of the challenges involved in developing a science of behavior in contemporary times.
