How do we determine when a learner has truly mastered a skill? In behavior analysis, performance criteria such as "80% correct across two sessions" have become nearly ubiquitous. Yet despite their widespread use, many practitioners may be surprised to learn that these criteria have relatively little direct empirical support. In this episode, I'm joined by Drs. Sarah Richling and Dr. Daniel Fienup to discuss the history, research, and practical implications of mastery criteria in applied behavior analysis. Drawing on their independent lines of research, Sarah and Dan examine how different criterion levels influence skill maintenance and why behavior analysts should think carefully about what constitutes meaningful mastery. We begin by defining the terminology surrounding mastery and performance criteria and explore several important dimensions that are often overlooked, including criterion level, criterion frequency, supplementary variables, and units of analysis. The conversation then turns to the origins of the commonly used 80% and 90% thresholds. Although these criteria appear throughout ABA training and practice, Sarah and Dan explain that their widespread adoption may owe more to tradition than to empirical validation. We also discuss findings from their research comparing 50%, 80%, and 90% mastery criteria. Their studies suggest that higher performance criteria may produce stronger maintenance outcomes under some conditions, but they emphasize that practitioners should resist the temptation to adopt a new universal rule. Along the way, we explore: The distinction between mastery criteria and performance criteria. Why "80% correct" became so common in ABA. Historical influences from early behavior analytic and educational research. Research comparing 50%, 80%, and 90% mastery criteria. The relationship between mastery criteria and long-term maintenance. Why some behaviors may require near-perfect performance. The importance of considering the natural environment when setting performance standards. How units of analysis can affect instructional decision making. The risks of relying on aggregated data when teaching multiple skills. Generalization, maintenance, and supplementary variables. Lessons from Precision Teaching regarding fluency and functional mastery. Why performance criteria should be individualized rather than universally prescribed. Research opportunities for practitioners and graduate students interested in instructional design. Throughout the discussion, Sarah and Dan make a compelling case for moving beyond inherited rules and toward a more individualized, evidence-based approach to instructional decision making. Whether you're designing skill acquisition programs, supervising trainees, or simply curious about the assumptions that shape everyday practice, this episode offers a thoughtful examination of one of the most common—and least questioned—features of behavior analytic instruction.

Description:  How do GLP-1 receptor agonists or GIP agonists work and what is the impact for my psoriatic disease? Hear dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber answer such questions and more.           Join host Archie Franklin as he takes a deep dive into the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists and GIP agonists and the convergence of systemic inflammation related to psoriatic disease with renowned dermatologist and Vice Chair of the NPF Medical Board, Dr. Ronald Prussick from Washington Dermatology Center in Rockville and Frederick, MD, and, cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber, Director of the Cardio-Rheumatology/ Cardio-Dermatology Program at the University of Texas Southwestern. Learn more about the use of incretin hormones, the impact of weight management on psoriatic disease, metabolic and cardiovascular risk, as well as results from the TOGETHER-Pso and TOGETHER-PsA clinical trials.  This episode addresses the actions of incretin hormones (GLP-1 receptor agonist and GIP agonist) and how such use may be beneficial in the management of inflammation related to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  Thank you to Lilly for their support of this program activity.  Timestamps: (0:00)  Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered & guest welcome dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber.  (1:35)  What are incretin hormones and how GLP-1 or GIP receptor agonists (RA) inhibit appetite to initiate weight loss. (3:29)  Why GLP-1 RAs are of interest in the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (5:23)  The metabolic, cardiovascular, and psoriatic disease convergence. (7:19)  Will reduction of inflammation impact cardiovascular risk? (10:59) Treatment challenges associated with having psoriatic disease and being overweight or obese. (13:45)  Key points around the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists when managing psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (17:06)  Results of the TOGETHER-PsO and TOGETHER-PsA phase 3 clinical trials combining use of an IL-17 inhibitor and a GIP and GLP-1                receptor agonist therapy. (19:07)  Having the conversation of adding a GLP-1 RA medication to a treatment regimen. (22:40)  The paradigm shift of GLP-1 receptor agonists and the impact they can have on shared inflammatory pathways. Key Takeaways: ·       Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists are two incretin hormones that assist in managing excess body weight -- which as a result can be helpful in managing inflammation in the body.   ·       Psoriasis isn't just a skin and joint disease. It's a complex network of systemic inflammation with shared inflammatory pathways that worsens with increased weight impacting the severity of the disease, and accelerates the risk of metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease.   ·       The best outcomes occur as a result of multidisciplinary collaboration to address the impact of excess weight and systemic inflammation. If you are struggling to lose weight with diet and exercise, speak with your medical team about your options including the use of GLP-1 or GIP agonists.   Guest Bios: Renowned dermatologist Ronald Prussick, M.D., Medical Director of the Washington Dermatology Center in Rockville and Fredrick, Maryland, specializes in the treatment of psoriasis along with other diseases of the skin, hair, and nails.

When it comes to treating chronic sinus disease with nasal polyps…what's the best approach, surgery or biologics?Well, the answer is it's usually not either-or anymore.When patients are trying to manage these challenging conditions, some people opt for one or the other. But more physicians are finding that surgery and biologics aren't different paths. They are actually treatment protocols that complement each other.Surgery may remove the growths, but it doesn't necessarily stop the process of creating them in the first place. Biologics may suppress the inflammatory pathways driving recurrence, but they don't physically restore blocked sinus anatomy or remove bulky disease.We're entering a new phase of care where the question is no longer “surgery or biologics?” but how both can work together as part of a personalized strategy.Instead of treating every patient the same way, physicians are now looking deeper at the inflammatory pathways driving disease, recurrence risk, quality of life, and even how different biologics target different parts of the immune cascade.The shift is moving chronic sinus care away from a one-size-fits-all model and toward precision medicine that's designed around the individual patient.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tassos Hantzakos, staff physician in otolaryngology and residency program director at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and Dr. Deepa Sheth, allergy and immunology specialist.Together, we break down how the treatment landscape for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is evolving, why collaboration between ENT and allergy specialists is becoming essential, and how biologics are reshaping the future of inflammatory airway disease management.Things You'll Learn In This Episode Not just a surgical problemFor decades, treatment focused on physically removing nasal polyps, but many patients still experienced recurrence. Why does surgery alone often fail to stop the disease?Biologics are changing how we think about airway diseaseNew biologic therapies are targeting different parts of the inflammatory cascade. How do physicians decide which biologic is the best fit for a specific patient?The future of treatment is collaborative, not competitiveThe conversation is shifting away from “surgery versus biologics” toward integrated care between ENT surgeons and allergists. When should surgery come first, and when should biologics be introduced?Precision medicine is reshaping chronic inflammatory careDifferent patients may require different treatment approaches. How does identifying the root inflammatory driver completely change long-term management outcomes?Guest BioDr. Tassos Hantzakos is a staff physician in the Otolaryngology Department at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi's Integrated Surgical Institute, where he also serves as Program Director of the Otolaryngology Residency. His clinical expertise spans otolaryngology, rhinology, phonosurgery, laryngeal laser surgery, and voice disorders.

Skin has always told stories. For thousands of years, those whose skin behaved differently — scaling, thickening, inflaming — were feared, isolated, and misunderstood. Psoriasis was long lumped together with leprosy, its sufferers cast out rather than cared for. It would take centuries before medicine began to separate these conditions, and longer still before we understood what was really happening beneath the surface. Psoriasis is not an infection, not a curse, not a failure of hygiene. It is the immune system turning on itself, a complex, chronic inflammatory disease that affects not just skin but joints, confidence, and quality of life. It touches roughly 2-3% of the population, and for many it is a lifelong companion. Today we have a clinical dermatologist and a dermatopathologist to help us understand what psoriasis looks like to the clinician, what it reveals under the microscope, and how our understanding of its immunological roots has transformed the way we treat it. This is the story of psoriasis. Our Special Guests: Associate Professor Laura Scardamaglia, a Consultant Dermatologist, a Fellow of the Australasian College of Dermatology, and Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne.

The diagnosis and management of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is evolving. However, skepticism about this diagnosis persists among neurologists based upon lack of disease specific pathology, overlap with other neurodegenerative processes, and a lack of uniform diagnostic criteria. Also, prior reports of minimal or transient improvement after treatment with an invasive procedure and lack of high-quality studies has concerned some neurologists. We are joined by 2 experts in the field of movement disorders and CSF flow – Dr. Alberto Espay and Dr. Michael Williams – to discuss advances in our understanding of idiopathic NPH, the PENS trial, and evidence still needed to convince neurologists that NPH is clinical syndrome that warrants timely evaluation and treatment.

These days people are using AI chatbots for everything. These chatbots have a wealth of information at their metaphorical fingertips. But the accuracy of the information that they offer us is, well, questionable. But it makes sense why some people turn to AI for medical advice. They’re usually free, which gives them an upper hand when healthcare in the United States is so expensive. They’re also easy to access, so people can get their questions answered immediately, instead of waiting for an opening at their doctor’s office. And they’re trained to be empathic, which is especially appealing to patients who don’t feel valued in medical settings. In this "Ask a Doctor" segment, we explore the world of health advice and chatbots with two medical professionals. Guests: Angad Singh is a family medicine physician. He's also an Associate Chief Clinical Information Officer and Clinical Associate Professor at UW Medicine. Danielle Bitterman is an assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Clinical Lead for Data Science and AI at Mass General Brigham. Related links: A.I.

We talk a lot about parenting. But we don't talk nearly enough about being a daughter. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Allison Alford — communication scholar, professor at Baylor University, and author of Good Daughtering — to unpack the hidden emotional labor adult daughters carry inside their families. We explore the invisible work, the guilt, the pressure to be "enough," and how daughters can set boundaries without walking away from the people they love. This isn't about cutting family off. It's about understanding your role, recalibrating it, and finding pride instead of burnout. If you've ever felt like you're doing a lot… but it's never quite enough — this one will hit. What We Cover What "daughtering" actually means (and why it's invisible) The "specter of expectation" and where guilt really comes from The difference between healthy families and the "messy middle" Why boundaries aren't magic — they're strategy How to shift your role even if no one else in your family changes Why being a daughter can be a noble pursuit — not just a burden What changes when daughters finally see the system clearly Chapters 00:00 – Intro + Texas roots & communication background 01:00 – "Not by magic": boundaries during the holidays 02:00 – Why she wrote Good Daughtering (research → real-world tools) 06:45 – Growing up with a therapist mom + learning to "talk about talking" 12:00 – Emotions A–Z vs A–F (communication differences in relationships) 16:00 – Generational healing, enmeshment & the "messy middle" family 20:00 – What "daughtering" actually means (visible + invisible labor) 23:30 – The guilt, pressure & the "specter of expectation" 26:00 – Where to begin: notice → calibrate → communicate 29:00 – When family won't change: boundaries + internal work 36:00 – Realizing the invisible labor in her own life 42:00 – Daughters as an untapped community 46:00 – Is daughtering a noble pursuit? 49:00 – What's inside the book (tools, scripts, boundary setting) 53:00 – What changes if daughters "see the Matrix"? + Release date About Dr. Allison Alford Dr. Allison Alford is a communication scholar and Clinical Associate Professor at Baylor University.

Having a mental health condition, including depression or substance use disorder, does not automatically mean that a physician, nurse or other healthcare professional is unable to provide patient care in a competent, ethical and professional manner. Chris Bundy, MD, MPH, FAPA, FASAM, and other leaders of state-based professional health programs (PHPs) support physicians and other healthcare professionals as they navigate mental health conditions and help find supportive paths back to practice once their illness is managed. In this episode of Caring Greatly, Dr. Bundy talks about how PHPs work, his involvement with the Washington PHP and the Federation of State PHP. He shares some common misperceptions about mental health and substance use, and why the stress and trauma-exposure inherent with working in healthcare environments may create unique vulnerabilities for care team members. Dr. Bundy explains some of the challenges and limitations of PHPs, and discusses how many programs have expanded their purview to support a broader group of healthcare professionals beyond physicians. Today, many PHPs offer support to pharmacists, dentists, physicians' assistants and nurses. Dr. Bundy is Executive Medical Director of the Washington Physicians Health Program (WPHP) and Chief Medical Officer of the Federation of State Physician Health Programs (FSPHP).

Dr. Smita Das is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine, and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. With over 20 years of experience in clinical care, research, and leadership—including her role as VP of Psychiatry & Complex Care at Lyra Health—she's known for bringing nuance and compassion to how we talk about trauma and addiction. What sets her apart is how she addresses overlooked trauma, especially among high-functioning populations. She's been a leading voice in reframing motherhood—not just as joy, but as a potential mental health breaking point. Dr. Das explores how sleep deprivation, identity rupture, hormonal shifts, and the invisibility of caregiving pain can mirror complex trauma, challenging the notion that maternal crises are rare.In This EpisodeDr. Smita in Psychology TodayThe Science Behind RecoveryDr. Das on LinkedInBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.

For too long, psychiatry has treated mental illness as if it lives only in the brain. But what if the real story begins in the body? My guest today, Dr. Shebani Sethi, is a Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford and founding director of the Metabolic Psychiatry Program, the first clinic to unite psychiatry with nutrition and metabolism. On this revealing episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we explore how shifts in metabolism affect the brain and why this whole-body lens could transform how we prevent, understand, and treat mental health. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • How to recognize metabolic red flags behind mood and focus • Tests you can ask for to uncover hidden drivers of mental health • Everyday steps to restore brain energy and resilience • Foods and nutrients that calm inflammation and support cognition Dr. Shebani Sethi coined the term Metabolic Psychiatry, capturing what I've long believed and explored: that mental health begins in the body. Embracing this shift could reshape how we treat the mind and how we live each day.
