“…Killeen and Jacobs present one perspective in this issue (and provide a tutorial in linear algebra to help understand their argument). Contrary to claims in poorly written texts, reinforcers can be predicted a priori when theory is paired with quantitative sophistication, as demonstrated by work in behavior regulation (Hagge & Van Houten, 2016;Jacobs, Morford, King, & Hayes, 2017;Konarski, Crowell, & Duggan, 1985;Konarski, Crowell, Johnson, & Whitman, 1982;Konarski, Johnson, Crowell, & Whitman, 1980, 1981Timberlake & Allison, 1974;Timberlake & Farmer-Dougan, 1991) and behavioral economics (Borrero, Francisco, Haberlin, Ross, & Sran, 2007;Donaldson, DeLeon, Fisher, & Kahng, 2014;Foxall, 2015Foxall, , 2016Hursh, 1980;Oliveira-Castro, Cavalcanti, & Foxall, 2016;Peery & Fisher, 2001;Reed, Kaplan, Becirevic, Roma, & Hursh, 2016;Roane, Falcomata, & Fisher, 2007;Tustin, 1994).…”

As the flagship journal of the world's largest association devoted to behavior analysis, The Behavior Analyst (TBA) exists to present leading edge theory and methodology of relevance to anyone who makes a home on the broad landscape of behavior analysis and behavioral science. As befits that mission, the papers in this issue stretch theoretical and conceptual boundaries and point to new collaborations and future directions in the field. We begin with a special section examining the concept of reinforcement, the nature of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) research, and strategies for disciplinary survival. The papers and commentaries addressing them, ask us to contemplate difficult and perhaps uncomfortable questions facing behavior analysis and behavioral science. We then move to our regularly scheduled programming with papers exploring neuroscience, multiple exemplar training, incarceration, and psychotherapy, along with a methodological paper and a memorial to a pioneering researcher. Of Jets and Sharks There is a scene in the classic film Annie Hall in which a couple on a bicoastal flight are discussing their relationship. One observes that a relationship is like a shark-it must keep moving forward or else it dies, and then concludes that what they have on their hands is essentially, a dead shark. A scientific discipline is much like that-it too must keep moving forward, otherwise it dies. The special section The Future of Behavioral Science and Behavior Analysis is a collective attempt to keep our shark moving, alive, and not turned into hákarl. Can We Afford Reinforcement? A target article by Killeen and Jacobs challenges what we think we may know about reinforcement, and makes a cogent argument to move beyond the well known A-B-C triplet to the quadruple O: S D-R I-R C.

“…Thus, parents may comply with the therapist's advice for a while by increasing their rates of contingent praise, but they may find it difficult to maintain these changes-especially if the child's rate of positive behaviors does not improve or even declines. 2 The disequilibrium model has received impressive support from animal learning research (e.g., Allison, Buxton, & Moore, 1987;Belke, Pierce, Magee, & Laffoley, 2016;Timberlake & Wozny, 1979) and attracted attention among researchers in other fields, such as business and organizational behavior (e.g., Hagge & Van Houten, 2016;Podsakoff, 1982), public school settings (e.g., Johnson, Munk, Van Laarhoven, Repp, & Dahlquist, 2003;, and behavioral medicine (e.g., Saelens & Epstein, 1999;Salvy, Nitecki, & Epstein, 2009). However, with a few exceptions (e.g., Dougher, 1983;Jacobs, Morford, & King, 2019;, it has received little attention from behavior therapists despite proponents' efforts to highlight the model's potential application to clinical and mental-health issues (e.g., Allison, 1983;Timberlake & Farmer-Dougan, 1991;Viken & McFall, 1994).…”

Basic learning theorists developed the response-disequilibrium model to resolve the long-standing psychological puzzle of how to specify in advance the circumstances that will yield reinforcement effects. The model explains the behavioral changes in reinforcement effects as predictable adaptations to external constraints on the free-baseline levels of those behaviors. Here we introduce response-disequilibrium therapy (RDx), a clinical intervention based on this model. We present a series of clinical case studies using RDx to treat obsessive-compulsive disorders, report highly favorable results in comparison with the standard therapy, and discuss the implications.

“…If selling is viewed as a preventative action then it should be conducive to similar increases in attention and performance. Also, under disequilibrium theory, individuals should prefer to engage in the behavior to which normally there is no access to [ 34 – 35 ]. Hence, since for most people buying experiences are relatively common whereas selling experiences are not possible, people are expected to engage more effort in selling than buying, and this is expected to sway the market to the sellers’ side.…”

On the relation between economic bubbles and effort gaps between sellers and buyers: An experimental study

Economic bubbles are an empirical puzzle because they do not readily fit the notion of an efficient market. We argue that bubbles are associated with a conflict and a gap in the allocation of effort during negotiation by sellers and buyers. We examined 21 experimental asset markets where in one condition players could buy and sell and in the other they could either buy or sell. The results indicated that when making concurrent buying and selling decisions the mean number of asks for sellers was 71% higher than the number of bids for buyers. Similar findings emerge in a re-analysis of data from Lei et al. (2001). Importantly, bubbles only emerged in markets where the number of asks was larger than that of bids. These findings indicate that bubbles are associated with increased negotiation effort when acting as a seller and diminished effort when acting as a buyer.
