This is the blog and website of Eric J. Fox, Ph.D. (Doc Fox if you're nasty), the Owner and Director of FoxyLearning and the Director of Instructional Design at Altius Education, Inc.. He likes to overuse parenthetical comments (a lot) and write about himself in the third person. Enjoy. Or not. I really don't have strong feelings about the issue one way or the other.

Relational Frame Theory: An Overview of the Controversy

APA Citation: 

Gross, A. C., & Fox, E. J. (2009). Relational frame theory: An overview of the controversy. The Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 25, 87-98.

Abstract: 

Although Skinner’s Verbal Behavior (1957) was published over 50 years ago, behavior-analytic research on human language and cognition has been slow to develop. In recent years, a new behavioral approach to language known as relational frame theory (RFT) has generated considerable attention, research, and debate. The controversy surrounding RFT can be difficult to fully appreciate, partly because of the complexity of the theory itself and partly because the debate has spanned several years and several journals. The current paper aims to provide a concise overview of RFT and a summary of key points of debate and controversy.

Using Video Technology to Disseminate Behavioral Procedures: A Review of Functional Analysis: A Guide for Understanding Challenging Behavior (DVD)

Carr, J. E., & Fox, E. J. (2009). Using Video Technology to Disseminate Behavioral Procedures: A Review of Functional Analysis: A Guide for Understanding Challenging Behavior (DVD). Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 42, 919-923.

Abstract: 

Although applied behavior analysis has generated many highly effective behavior-change procedures, the procedures have not always been effectively disseminated. One solution to this problem is the use of video technology, which has been facilitated by the ready availability of video production equipment and software and multiple distribution methods (e.g., DVD, online streaming). We review a recent DVD that was produced to disseminate the successful experimental functional analysis procedure. The review is followed by general recommendations for disseminating behavior-analytic procedures via video technology.

Top 10 Things I Love About Xootr Scootering to Work

By Eric Fox - Posted on May 15th, 2009

I recently purchased a super-sweet Xootr MG scooter to use as my primary mode of transportation to work. And I love it. It is a "kick" or "push" scooter, not one of those sissy motorized ones. This is all man-power, baby. Although the Xootr was a bit expensive, it is easily one of the most worthwhile purchases I've made in recent years. Here are 10 reasons why:

1) It gets me to work twice as fast as walking.

The most direct route from my apartment to my work is about 1.7 miles, but that includes many of San Francisco's (in)famous hills. The more manageable, level route I usually take is 2.5 miles (5 miles round trip). Walking, this takes me 40-45 minutes each way. Xootr scootering, it takes me about 20 minutes. Over the course of a week, that's an extra 3+ hours added to my life for cold chillin' maxin' and relaxin'.

2) It's a nice workout.

Facebook Jesus Quiz

These facebook quizzes are getting out of hand. My facebook newsfeed recently informed me of the following: "Stefanie took the What Does Jesus Think of You? quiz and the result is Jesus thinks you're a Jew."  What the hell does that mean?

As someone who is very likely one-quarter Jewish and married to a Jewish woman, I must say that I am thoroughly...confused. Maybe offended? Nah, probably just constipated. But, seriously, wtf? Jesus was a Jew. Do these quiz results mean that Jesus thinks you're cool and one of his homies? Or is he gettin' all up in yo grill Mel Gibson-style and pissed that you killed him? I never understood religion. Or those inane facebook quizzes.
