“…The target behaviour was videotaped from the public area, thus adopting a nonparticipant observer perspective, which is unobtrusive and minimizes reactivity in the observed person (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007;Miltenberger & Weil, 2013;Stangor, 2007).…”

Nonverbal behaviour has an important function in team sports, but research is limited.Adopting a psychological momentum (PM) framework, this study explores the relationship between a team's history of events, nonverbal post-shot celebrations in the form of gestures and touch shown by the shooter after scoring, and subsequent team performance during handball matches. A naturalistic design with systematic observation was chosen for the present study. Based on an existing coding scheme, 616 post-shot periods from 18 high-stake matches of the highest league in Sweden were analysed. Results showed that the better a team's prior performance, the more gestures were displayed after scoring in the following period. A high degree of touch when playing well, and a low degree of touch when playing poorly were related to positive subsequent team performance, while, showing much touch when playing poorly, or showing little touch when playing well were related to negative subsequent team performance. The amount of displayed gesture and touch alone was not significantly related to subsequent team performance. To conclude, nonverbal post-shot celebrations were related to subsequent team performance, but only when the ongoing history of events was taken into account, and only for touch. Based on these results, the history of events emerges as an important variable when the dynamics of ongoing team sport matches are investigated. Further, touch, compared to gesture, seems to be of more importance for subsequent team performance. As expected when investigating complex phenomena in ongoing matches, the findings resulted in small effect sizes.

“…Behavior is "internal processes of thinking, feeling, perceiving and judging that lead people to act in particular ways" (Nelson & Quick, 2012, p.5). Behavior is what people do and say (Miltenberger, 2012) as a response to stimuli.…”

“…A partir do conhecimento acumulado, foi elaborada uma estratégia de intervenção baseada nos princípios e métodos cognitivos e comportamentais, regida pelas regras da ACA (Kazdin, 2013;Martin & Pear, 2009;Miltenberger, 2012;Thomas, 2009). De acordo com Galindo (2015), ao longo dos anos, tem havido uma preocupação crescente por parte da psicologia cognitivocomportamental não só para diagnosticar, mas também para resolver problemas, a qual levou ao desenvolvimento de um conjunto alargado de técnicas de diagnóstico e reabilitação destinadas à resolução de uma série de problemas psicológicos e ao treino de um conjunto abrangente de competências.…”

“…De acordo com Galindo (2015), ao longo dos anos, tem havido uma preocupação crescente por parte da psicologia cognitivocomportamental não só para diagnosticar, mas também para resolver problemas, a qual levou ao desenvolvimento de um conjunto alargado de técnicas de diagnóstico e reabilitação destinadas à resolução de uma série de problemas psicológicos e ao treino de um conjunto abrangente de competências. Tal situação levou a que, hoje em dia, exista um corpo alargado de investigadores que provou que as técnicas cognitivocomportamentais são uma ferramenta útil e eficaz para lidar com uma série de problemas, entre os quais, as perturbações do desenvolvimento inteletual, as perturbações do espetro do autismo, as perturbações visuais, as perturbações auditivas, as perturbações alimentares, a paralisia cerebral, entre muitas outras (Miltenberger, 2012).…”

“…A ACA se preocupa com a análise do comportamento, na medida em que identifica a relação existente entre os estímulos ambientais e o comportamento humano, tentando compreender as razões para a ocorrência do mesmo e, também com a sua modificação, já que envolve o desenvolvimento e implementação de procedimentos com o objetivo de alterar/modificar um determinado comportamento socialmente significativo (através da modificação dos estímulos ambientais que influenciam esse comportamento) e assim, melhorar algum aspeto da vida do indivíduo (Miltenberger, 2012).…”

The aim of this paper is to present the results of an intervention program based in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to train academic skills in children with school failure problems. In the current research, training programs successfully applied to 1st and 2nd school year children were used to train three children attending the 4th school year. An evaluation before and after the intervention with ABA techniques was carried on using WISC-III Arithmetics Sub-test and tests of the Distema Method, including a Dyslexia identification test. Results showed advances in Verbal Comprehension, Orthography and Arithmetics in all children. All applied evaluation tests showed similar results. Results obtained in Portugal with younger children were replicated. As a conclusion, it is stressed thar intervention programs based on ABA seem to increase academic performance of children with school failure problems.
