Ep22 Exercise, Movement, and Improving Client Health with ABA ft. Dr. Nick Green

The applications of the science of behavior analysis aren’t quite limitless but it can feel close. In this episode, we meet with Dr. Nick Green to further our discussions about how behavior analysis can be applied to athletes, employees, and others who can benefit from movement/fitness/better health choices. He discusses the importance of listening to your clients, goal setting, and data collection. Behavior analysis provides a unique lens in which we can work with people of all types to improve their daily habits.


Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the scope of competence of a behavior analyst when it comes to working in the areas of health and fitness.

2. Discuss how goal setting, measurement, and data collection can look when working within fitness.

3. Discuss the importance of motivating operations and individual variables when working with learners who are seeking to “fine tune” their own behaviors and behavioral patterns.


Take Aways- your bite-sized educational noms

- The science of behavior analysis can be “translated” from multiple other sources and professions but it’s important to know what you don’t know and when it’s time to ask for help and another set of eyes.

- Health and fitness improvement involve a multitude of variables and it’s important for behavior analysts to flexible and seek out methods that improve desired behaviors. Like working with younger learners and/or those with disabilities, the goal posts may shift, interventions and recommendations may change based on the data and that’s all okay. The goal is to find progress.

- Each person we work with comes with their own histories of reinforcement, punishment, and motivation. If we want our programs “to work” then we have to consider these variables when setting goals, which means actively listening (close those feedback loops!), remaining unbiased, and understanding how competing contingencies can affect our learners.

- Data collection is important, AND it needs to tell a story! We need to present our beloved data in such a way that makes sense to the learner. Data can and should be an MO for continued changes/maintenance of behaviors.
