Using Evidence-Based Kernels: The DNA for Prevention, Intervention & Treatment
1. Kernels are the smallest units of scientifically proven behavioral influence that produce quick, measurable changes and can be combined to create larger programs. 2. The document discusses four types of kernels - antecedent, reinforcement, physiological, and relational frames - and provides 52 examples of kernels. 3. Kernels can address social issues without stigma and be spread through word-of-mouth or modeling to create positive behavioral changes.

All data are linked, with care for confidentiality, so that the impact of provincial initiatives can be evaluated. Dr. Embry was a keynote speaker outlining what might happen in the next decade of Healthy Child Manitoba.
Oregon Research Institute Presentation on Science to PracticeDennis Embry
Human behavior is not maintained in the evolutionary, natural environment by programs. Rather, human behavior is naturally influenced by antecedents, relational frames, differential reinforcement and physiological events. Families, teachers, clinicians, businesses, and policy makers can harness this fact with evidence-based kernels (Embry & Biglan, 2008), which are the fundamental units of behavioral influence to alter behavior for the good. A kernel must have peer-reviewed experimental studies showing that it works. Kernels can be easily explained, modeled and diffused in society. This workshop takes several kernels and steps though how people from all walks of life can use kernels at home, at school, in clinical/medical practice, in the workplace and in policy efforts to effect change quickly.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify what kernels are or are not and the types of kernels
• Work through several examples of applying kernels to common problems

This document discusses challenges in clustering and visualizing geospatial data. It notes that geospatial data has special characteristics that pose challenges, such as visualizing clusters in both geographic and feature spaces, handling relationships and boundaries at different scales, and the high dimensionality and volume of geospatial data sets. It also discusses representing similarities between georeferenced sites in both geographic space, concerned with surface features, and feature space, concerned with multidimensional similarities. Representing clusters found in feature space onto a 2D map is challenging as the clusters may not match geographic space clusters.

This document discusses adopting a public health approach to improving parenting practices in order to reduce behavior problems in children. It notes that while evidence-based parenting programs have been shown to be effective, few parents participate in them due to limited availability and engagement challenges. A public health approach aims to strengthen parenting skills across whole populations using a variety of minimally intensive formats to maximize reach, including self-administered materials, brief consultations, and online/TV programs. This broader reach can achieve greater impacts on children's outcomes than traditional intensive formats alone. The Triple P Positive Parenting Program is presented as a model that incorporates different levels of support.
This document provides an overview of social interaction models of teaching. It defines social interaction models as instructional methods that facilitate group work and student-to-student interaction.

2) It argues that aggregate efficiency has stalled at around 22% for 30 years due to limitations of the Second Industrial Revolution, but that digitizing transport, energy, and communication through technologies like blockchain can help manage resources and increase efficiency.
3) Technologies like precision agriculture, cloud computing, robotics, and autonomous vehicles may allow for "dematerialization" and do more with fewer physical resources through effects like reduced waste and need for transportation/logistics infrastructure.
Genetic and environmental factors both play important roles in human development throughout the lifespan. While we inherit genetic material from our parents that influences our traits, reaching our full potential depends on the environment we grow up in. Researchers study the interplay between nature and nurture using family, twin, and adoption studies to better understand how genes and experiences shape who we are. Current research focuses on identifying genetic contributions to disorders while recognizing that most traits result from complex interactions between our DNA and surroundings. Continued investigation in this area may lead to improved diagnosis and treatment.

This document discusses the use of multiple data streams in research on infant motor development and rehabilitation. It notes that exploring infant behavior requires looking beyond simplistic models to understand how novel behaviors emerge and can be influenced. The research measures multiple aspects of infant behavior, physical and social environments, and uses various research settings like labs, clinics, and classrooms. Applied studies follow over 50 infants over 5 years using over 800 home sessions and multiple assessments. Integrating and efficiently analyzing data from multiple streams can provide more valid insights but risks of error and not capturing individual issues increase with the number of streams. Sharing data and collaborating with others is important.
The Persuasive Communication Model offers a convenient system that you can use to design mobile applications, websites, or social media campaigns. You can use the model when you are developing new products, trying to improve old ones, or seeking to identify the success principles that lay behind your competitors’ products.
When designing new technologies or fixing old ones, the model provides a checklist of persuasion principles that you can use to compare your design with scientifically validate influence principles. If you wish to understand what makes your competitors’ technology work, you cannot just copy their product. Rather, you can use the model to reverse engineer their persuasive architecture, and then adapt their persuasive architecture to your unique product and market.

Biglan et al the critical role of nurturing environments for promoting human ...Dennis Embry
The recent Institute of Medicine report on prevention (National Research Council & Institute of Medicine, 2009) noted the substantial interrelationship among mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders and pointed out that, to a great extent, these problems stem from a set of common conditions. However, despite the evidence, current research and practice continue to deal with the prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders as if they are unrelated and each stems from different conditions. This article proposes a framework that could accelerate progress in preventing these problems. Environments that foster successful development and prevent the development of psychological and behavioral problems are usefully characterized as nurturing environments. First, these environments minimize biologically and psychologically toxic events. Second, they teach, promote, and richly reinforce prosocial behavior, including self-regulatory behaviors and all of the skills needed to become productive adult members of society. Third, they monitor and limit opportunities for problem behavior. Fourth, they foster psychological flexibility—the ability to be mindful of one's thoughts and feelings and to act in the service of one's values even when one's thoughts and feelings discourage taking valued action. We review evidence to support this synthesis and describe the kind of public health movement that could increase the prevalence of nurturing environments and thereby contribute to the prevention of most mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. This article is one of three in a special section (see also Muñoz Beardslee, & Leykin, 2012; Yoshikawa, Aber, & Beardslee, 2012) representing an elaboration on a theme for prevention science developed by the 2009 report of the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine.

Emotion Ontology and Affective NeuroscienceJanna Hastings
This document discusses annotating affective neuroscience data with the Emotion Ontology. It describes affective science and studies of emotional functioning and disorders using brain imaging. The Emotion Ontology aims to define emotion types and their characteristics. Studies of facial expression recognition, personal memory recall, and emotional sounds or films could be annotated with classes like visual perception of emotional stimuli or memory of emotional episodes. The ontology provides a framework for representing domain knowledge in a consistent way.

The Emergenetics Profile was developed to measure how both genetics and life experiences shape personality. It analyzes four thinking attributes and three behavioral tendencies based on Nobel Prize-winning brain research. The profile provides a nuanced understanding of an individual's preferences, strengths, and personality in a way that is grounded in science, valid, reliable, and resonates with people. It differs from other personality tools by considering both inherent traits and developed behaviors to present a clear and comprehensive picture of an individual.
SBCC uses a socio-ecological approach and interactive communication processes informed by research and theory to address tipping points for change at multiple levels.

The document discusses an Indigenous model of traditional wellness called the Medicine Wheel and how it relates to neurodecolonization. It covers how colonialism has impacted Indigenous peoples' brains, bodies, and genes through trauma, and how engaging in traditional mindfulness practices can help heal from these impacts by restructuring and decolonizing the mind and body. Some key traditional practices discussed that can facilitate this include running, dancing, singing, sleeping, laughing, fasting, meditation, time in nature, and spending time in community.
This document discusses several studies on the neural foundations of moral reasoning and antisocial behavior. It aims to investigate instrumental aggression in moral decision-making among schizophrenic criminal offenders using moral dilemmas. The study assumes impairments in brain regions involved in moral cognition and emotion may underlie rule-breaking behavior in antisocial populations. It will examine reaction times and skin conductance responses to dilemmas to test dual-process theories of moral judgment.
This document outlines an ethics course that covers personal, societal, and professional ethics; the differences between ethics education and responsible conduct of research training; the field of bioethics and key issues it addresses like cloning, biotechnology, and stem cell research; methods of moral reasoning like deductive, inductive, and abductive arguments; frameworks for ethical decision making like principlism and casuistry; and examples of real-world issues to apply ethical analyses to like pharmacogenomic testing and end-of-life care. The goal is to teach students how to think critically and ethically about complex issues at the intersections of science, technology, and society.

This document discusses findings from neuroscience research on learning and memory. It provides 4 negative findings and 5 positive findings. The negative findings are: 1) We have no intrinsic motivation to learn academic material, 2) There is no evidence for learning transfer or multiple intelligences, 3) Memories are completely unstable with each recall, 4) Learning does not improve general intelligence. The 5 positive findings are mechanisms that promote short-term learning becoming long-term, including innate learning programs, repetition of information, excitement during learning, eating carbohydrates after learning, and 8-9 hours of sleep after learning.
This document provides an overview of research being conducted on childhood stuttering. It discusses three key points:
1) The researcher is studying how language, motor, and emotion factors may influence early childhood stuttering using tools like EEG to measure brain activity and responses to emotional conversations.
2) Preliminary findings suggest children who stutter may be less adept at emotion regulation and use fewer self-soothing behaviors when listening to conversations with different emotions.
3) Ongoing work includes further analyzing brain responses to speech and measuring autonomic arousal during speech and non-speech tasks to better understand the links between emotions and stuttering in children.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Darwin Meets Mendel
Darwin documented the big picture.
Mendel documented the two types of genes—
qualitative and quantitative. Nobody paid any
attention to quantitative genes until the early
1990s. Now, we know them as polygenetics
and epigenesis.
Biology has the genome and proteinomics.
Physics has periodic table.
What does behavioral science have?

What were the fundamental
units of behavioral influence
used by humans 40,000
years ago?
About 40,000 years ago, with the appearance of the Cro-
Magnon culture, tools became markedly more sophisticated,
incorporating a wider variety of raw materials such as bone and
antler. They also included new implements for making clothing,
engravings, and sculptures. Fine artwork, in the form of
decorated tools, beads, ivory carvings of humans and animals,
clay figurines, musical instruments, and cave paintings,
appeared over the next 20,000 years.

4. What is a kernel?
Is the smallest unit of scientifically proven behavioral
influence.
• Is indivisible; that is, removing any part makes it
inactive.
Produces quick easily measured change that can
grow much bigger change over time.
Can be be used alone OR combined with other
kernels to create new programs, strategies or
policies.
• Are the active ingredients of evidence-based
programs
• Can be spread by word-of-mouth, by modeling, by
non professionals.
• Can address historic disparities without stigma, in
part because they are often found in cultural wisdom.
