TL;DR: Evaluated research productivity of several graduate programs that provide Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB)-approved course sequences in behavior analysis concludes by discussing the importance of research in an increasingly practice-driven marketplace.

TL;DR: This article evaluated the relationship between two behavioral language assessments that are currently used to evaluate the verbal repertoires of individuals with autism and found that there was a strong correlation between PEAK total scores and the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) and that a logarithmic regression model provided a good fit for the data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a normative sample of the PEAK: direct training module assessment and a subsequent comparison to individuals with autism, and found that PEAK total scores for the autism group were significantly lower than the normative sample.

TL;DR: This paper evaluated the effectiveness of an in situ behavioral skills training program for training 3 direct care staff to implement the Promoting the Emergence of Advanced Knowledge Relational Training System (PEAK) with 3 individuals with autism.

TL;DR: The research tradition of derived stimulus relations is traced from laboratory to wide-scale implementation, and several suggestions for how to progress effective and impactful research on derived relational responding to issues of immense social importance are put forward.
