Description:
At ABAI’s 51st Annual Convention in May 2025, Dr. Kenneth W. Jacobs presented “A Behavior Regulation Approach to Learned Performances.” The presentation traced the conceptual roots of regulation theory, beginning with historical perspectives such as Claude Bernard’s work on physiological constancy, before introducing core concepts of behavior regulation. Jacobs outlined how regulatory processes can be applied to understanding learned performances, emphasizing the role of establishing operations, behavioral economics, and reinforcement contingencies in shaping behavior. He then explored verbal behavior regulation, illustrating how these principles apply to complex performances such as verbal interactions and rule-governed behavior. The session concluded with implications for research and practice, encouraging attendees to consider behavior regulation as a unifying framework for analyzing a wide range of learned behaviors.
