Verbal Behavior
By Bill Potter
The VB SIG has been active this year, supporting VB research and collaboration as well as sponsoring several projects. Under the direction of Dr. Judah Axe (judah.axe@simmons.edu), the SIG awarded the following students for exemplary research. The awards were given at the annual meeting at IABA:
- 1st Place: Sarah A. Lechago
- 2nd Place: Danielle LaFrance
- 3rd Place: Raquel Alo
- 3rd Place: Jenny L. Fischer
In addition, the SIG also provided research grants to several students, up to a maximum of $500. Dr. Caio Miguel was the VB Grant Coordinator last year, and this year the coordinator is Dr. Anna Petursdottir. She can be reached at a.petursdottir@tcu.edu Both sets of awards were given out this year at the Annual meeting of the SIG at IABA. Also during that meeting, we discussed the SIG's business and arranged for projects that support the area of Verbal Behavior, as well as support the journal, The Analysis of Verbal Behavior.

The VB Web site can be viewed at www.vbsig.org. If you would like to contribute your presentations, or papers to be available on the SIG site, email Bill Potter at wpotter@csustan.edu Please include in your email a letter giving the SIG permission to post the presentation. The SIG reserves the right to limit the number and type of presentations that will be placed on the site - we are primarily interested in articles related to Skinner's analysis of VB, as well as extensions of that analysis.
If you need to pay your dues, or would like to contribute to the efforts of the VB SIG, please send your contribution to our treasurer, David Reitman at:

Dave's e-mail is reitmand@nova.edu Dues for full members are $10 for one year and $5 for students.
Finally, the dues for the SIG are kept low intentionally - they are not enough to support the grants and research competition. The funds for those activities have been generously donated by Dr. Jack Michael, Dr Vince Carbone, Dr. Mark Sundberg, and Ted Schoneberger. If you would like to contribute to these efforts, please e-mail Dr. David Reitman at reitmand@nova.edu
