Summary

To celebrate our 250th episode, we wanted to take a look back—-WAAAAAY back—into the history of behavior analysis. To help us delve into the dusty storage closets of the past, Dr. Mirari Elcoro joins us to examine a less-known chapter from Dr. Murray Sidman’s career when behavior analysis and neuroscience teamed up. Then we review one way to learn from history using all the old junk your unversity probably has lying around. Yes, it can do more than prop up a wobbly table.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

0:28.9	Jackie. You got like a Mickey Mouse Club thing going there, Jackie. That was good.
0:31.9	Thank you. Every, this year, I'm trying to sing my name every single time I say it. So
0:36.5	that was good.

0:40.1	Diana, unfortunately, is on assignment with our oldest son, which is what she's doing most of the summer with sports.

1:03.0	We want to think about what came before us.
1:05.3	Maybe it's because we're all getting older and, you know, starting to, you know, really want to grasp on to previous events when we were
1:13.2	young and everything didn't hurt so much. And so we said, what do we know about history? And we
1:19.1	couldn't just do a podcast about our own history because that would be fun for us, but not for

1:27.3	psychology? Where did we all come from in terms of our professional field? And we were very
1:32.4	fortunate enough to have someone who has been asking and answering this very question for
