In this course, Catherine Jessel begins by interviewing Dr. Joshua Jessel the lead author of the article, “A Translational Evaluation of Transitions” (Jessel et al., 2016). They discuss (a) the inspiration and motivation behind the article, (b) further recommended readings, and (c) the experience Dr. Jessel had while conducting the study. Catherine then interviews Dr. Theresa Fiani, an expert in the application of Skill-Based Treatment for severe problem behavior. They discuss the specifics of (a) behaviors children engage in when transitioning from a rich to lean schedule of reinforcement, (b) signals during transitions, and (c) the importance of unpredictability while transitioning. The take-home message is that variability and unpredictability during transitions will likely increase cooperation in individuals.
