Introduction

Encoding is the initial step toward creating a new memory which is crucial for allowing perceived items of interest to be translated into a construct, which can be stored and later recalled from short-term or long-term memory.

Explanation of Solution

Answer and explanation

Encoding is the procedure of acquiring information, beginning with perception via the senses, and later transferring it to long-term or short-term memory.

The procedure of transferring material from long-term memory to the working memory is known as retrieval. It involves recollection of information or past experiences.

Encoding influences the retrieval of information which is majorly based on how the information was encoded when one learned it. Thus, encoding is required for storing material while retrieval is required for accessing the stored material, thereby, putting it to use.

Dr. Schlinger discusses delay discounting, ACT, RFT, and PBIS, and explains why he does not believe that they are behavior analysis.  What is missing from them, that renders them “not behavior analysis,” in Dr. Schlinger’s well-considered opinion? Dr. Schlinger has concerns regarding the BACB and behavior analyst certification. Explain Dr. Schlinger’s concern with regard to the BACB.  Why would Dr. Schlinger choose a degree program in experimental analysis of behavior, rather than one of the newer programs that prepares graduates to sit for the BCBA exam? Why does Dr. Schlinger contend that many BCBAs are not actually behavior analysts? Describe Dr. Schlinger’s concern regarding a “slow moving coup” in ABAI.
