O podcast Introvertendo lançou, nesta sexta-feira (13), o episódio 319, intitulado Autistas na Universidade – parte 2. O episódio dá continuidade ao tema iniciado na edição anterior do podcast, que abordou a transição para o ensino superior, a socialização e a rotina acadêmica de pessoas autistas. Nesta edição, Deco Machado e Marx Osório também recebem […]
A compreensão da mente humana constitui um dos grandes desafios da ciência contemporânea. Desde a consolidação da Psicologia Cognitiva, os estudos sobre percepção, atenção, memória e aprendizagem ampliaram a compreensão dos processos pelos quais os indivíduos selecionam, interpretam e utilizam informações provenientes do ambiente. Neisser (1967) contribuiu decisivamente para estabelecer esse campo de investigação, compreendendo […]

A Prefeitura de Jaraguá do Sul, em Santa Catarina, por meio da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde, fará no dia 25 de novembro um workshop sobre gerenciamento de crises relacionadas ao autismo. O encontro começará às 19h, no auditório das Clínicas Integradas da UniSociesc, localizado no Centro da cidade, anexo ao Partage Shopping. Segundo o JDV, […]
Abstract Behavior-analytic journals have historically exhibited high levels of self-citation and relatively limited exchange with other scientific disciplines. Although bibliometric studies have examined citation patterns in journals such as the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior , no large-scale investigation has analyzed the references cited in Behavior and Social Issues ( BSI ). This study addresses this gap through a bibliometric analysis of all references cited in BSI between 1978 and 2022. A total of 562 publications and 14,765 references were classified according to research type, disciplinary alignment, authorship, and publication outlet. The results revealed the predominance of theoretical and interpretative publications throughout the journal’s history, as well as strong concentration around a relatively small group of behavior-analytic authors and journals, particularly B. F. Skinner and S. S. Glenn. At the same time, BSI consistently incorporated references from disciplines such as anthropology, economics, evolutionary biology, political theory, and environmental science. Direct journal self-citation represented 7.91% of all references cited in BSI , substantially lower than rates previously reported for several other behavior-analytic journals. Taken together, the findings suggest that BSI developed through the combination of a stable behavior-analytic intellectual core and broad interdisciplinary engagement with socially relevant problems, functioning as a comparatively permeable and interdisciplinary outlet within behavior analysis.
A Escola de Aprendizes-Marinheiros de Pernambuco (EAMPE), por meio do Núcleo de Assistência Social, promoveu no dia 30 de outubro uma visita ao trimarã Orion Racing Brasil com crianças e adolescentes atendidos pelo Programa de Atendimento Especial (PAE). A atividade, chamada Velejando pelo autismo, teve como objetivo aproximar os participantes da cultura marítima e do […]
Abstract Using telehealth to remotely train staff in behaviour analytic techniques has become an increasingly popular method of providing services to support autistic individuals and their families. This systematic literature review has identified studies which utilised this platform to remotely train staff across the education, health and social care sectors. In total, 20 studies met the inclusion criteria to be included in the review. Training was provided to 101 participants across a variety of vocational backgrounds (e.g. behaviour analysts, speech and language therapists and teachers). Multiple training methods were utilised, most commonly these involved techniques found in the Behaviour Skills Training package, such as modelling of skills, opportunities for rehearsal and the provision of feedback. The training provided was effective at increasing trainee capabilities in conducting behaviour analytic assessments (e.g. functional analyses) and skill teaching (e.g. strategies to increase social communication). However, despite most research being viewed favourably by trainees and meeting minimum quality standards, it should be considered as in its infancy. Many gaps do exist, especially around international culturally diverse demonstrations of effectiveness. By investigating such applications and filling these gaps, future researchers can begin to explore the true potential telehealth has in reducing global inequalities in evidence-based services.
A 2ª Conferência TEA60+ ocorrerá no dia 19 de novembro de 2026, das 14h às 18h, em São Paulo. O evento pretende discutir o diagnóstico, o atendimento e as políticas públicas destinadas a pessoas autistas com mais de 60 anos. A iniciativa é organizada pela Associação Brasileira de Pessoas Idosas Autistas (IdosAut), com apoio da […]
Every child has a story, and every child deserves the recognition and understanding that allow her to feel accepted for who she is. Yet, for many autistic girls, receiving that recognition can take longer than it should. Some girls grow up feeling different without knowing how to explain why. They may have friends, enjoy conversations, do well in school, and appear to fit in with those around them. But underneath that outward appearance, they may be working incredibly hard to navigate a world...
Uma pesquisa feita com 30288 adultos dos 50 estados americanos e de Washington, D.C., identificou que aproximadamente um em cada quatro participantes acredita que vacinas infantis ou o uso de paracetamol durante a gravidez podem causar autismo. As duas associações não são sustentadas pelas evidências científicas disponíveis. O levantamento foi conduzido por pesquisadores de instituições […]
A relação entre alimentação e saúde mental tem adquirido relevância nas pesquisas contemporâneas, especialmente diante das investigações sobre metabolismo energético, funcionamento cerebral e alterações do humor. A qualidade nutricional da alimentação, o consumo de açúcares adicionados e a ingestão excessiva de carboidratos refinados constituem variáveis importantes para a promoção da saúde. Entretanto, compreender essas relações […]
Abstract This article proposes an integrated conceptual framework for analyzing video games through functional analysis, arguing that game design is fundamentally the arrangement of reinforcement and punishment contingencies. Video game genres are functional systems defined by reinforcement schedules, operant punishment, and temporally extended consequences programmed in game environments. To illustrate this behavioral interpretation of video games, we conduct a functional analysis of the contingencies operating in three illustrative commercial genres: platformers (focused on precision and modeling), Metroidvanias (based on conditional discrimination and interconnection of repertoires), and turn-based RPGs (governed by rules and chaining). Furthermore, the game features that continue to shape player behavior were examined, including aesthetic elements and cross-genre metasystems, such as achievements, leaderboards, and loot boxes. The analysis demonstrates that successful game design is also successful contingency design. Finally, we discuss the ethical implications of monetized metasystems (such as loot boxes) and propose that the principles of behavior analysis can be used to "reverse engineer" game design to illustrate how both experimental and applied domains can benefit from the consilience between behavior analysis and game design.
Abstract Questionable research practices (QRPs) inject bias into single-case experimental design (SCED) research. A prominent QRP is selective reporting, the omission or selective depiction of data or research procedures to inflate the appearance of positive experimental effects. Open and transparent research practices, including clear and appropriate research questions, transparent procedural reporting, and unbiased outcomes reporting, provide evidence that researchers have taken steps to avoid selective reporting in SCED. Peer reviewers have substantial influence in evaluating whether submitted articles reflect these practices. We provide explicit guidance for peer reviewers to appraise how SCED research articles submitted for publication reflect open and transparent reporting as well as describe ways in which clear and constructive feedback to authors can reduce QRPs in behavior science research.
