As Juliet asks, "what's in a name?" in that Shakespeare play every 9th grader reads, I too ask the put the same question to today's guest, Dr. Caio Miguel. Welcome to Session 287 of the Behavioral Observations Podcast! Literary allusions aside, in this episode, Caio walks us through the concept of Bidirectional Naming, and its implications for research and practice. In this conversation, we use his 2016 paper, Common and Intraverbal Bidirectional Naming, from the Analysis of Verbal Behavior, as a springboard for this discussion. One of the things that I took away from this conversation is to be more careful using terms like tacting, naming, and labeling interchangeably. In this podcast, you'll learn why these distinctions are important. We also talk about why terms like receptive and expressive labeling aren't conceptually systematic, and should be avoided in the Behavior Analytic literature. If that sounds like a hot take to you, please tune in to hear the rationale. Caio is also presenting at this year's Verbal Behavior Conference, which is taking place March 27-28, 2025, both in Austin, TX, as well as virtually through BehaviorLive. If you like to nerd out on all things verbal behavior, this is your event. And during our conversation, Caio provides a preview of what he plans to talk about at the VBC.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, it's an old school short one with Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore.  Puck's son, The Vampire, has a baseball tournament so it's a Friday quick hitter with just Puck and Jim.  Lofa Tatupu, PuckSports handicapper TroyWins.com and Chris Egan will be back next Friday. Puck and Jim cover Thursday's great Notre Dame and Penn State game and wonder how in the world is Drew Allar considered some top draft pick?  Candidates are starting to come out for the Seahawks offensive coordinator position….Does anyone excite Puck and Jim?  Also, they react to what Mike Garafolo said on Thursday to Puck about the relationship between Mike Macdonald and Ryan Grubb.  The Cougars introduced Jimmy Rogers as their new football coach and took a few and not few subtle jabs at former coach Jake Dickert.

It's been two weeks since Puck and Rob have chatted so there was a lot to go over, but the main topic of the segment was the removal of Grubb.  Rob and Puck disagree on the decision, but came to the conclusion that Macdonald and Grubb simply didn't mesh personality wise and if that's truly the case than a move was to be made.  But, as they have discussed in the past, when you have a defensive minded coach, like Macdonald, shuffling through offensive coordinators can be a problem and this will be a significant hire for Macdonald and Schneider. (59:22) Ryan Divish, Seattle Times, is back after a two-week holiday break to jump on and talk about all the great moves the Mariners have made this offseason!  Wait, no moves have been made and Divish and Puck discuss what the M's have in store with many of their options drying up.  Will they trade Luis Castillo?  What free agents out there can help Seattle?  Are they players for Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki?  How cold is it truly in Havre, Montana, where Divish currently resides?! (1:25:00) “Hey, What the Puck!?” Puck discusses the Jimmy Butler saga in the NBA and plays a clip from Charles Barkley and the TNT crew discussing the drama.  What's wrong with today's professional athlete?

The move obviously changes how Puck and Jim view Dickert.  Is there an understanding to why Dickert left?  Puck once again referenced his common line with coaches, they all are Professional Liars. Now that Dickert is gone and over 20 players are in the transfer portal, including 10 starters.  Do the Cougars have enough players to play in the Holiday Bowl against Syracuse?   Should the school even allow them to play?Canzano takes Puck behind the scenes to the departure and why it's critical for Washington State athletic director Anne McCoy to move fast with a new hire.   John asks the question how culpable is the WSU Board of Regents?  Did the Regents make a mistake of not locking him up to a contract sooner?  Why did Dickert choose Wake Forest, a historically bad football program?  Canzano opines that Dickert was just fed up with the system and wanted a change of scenery.    Dickert's abrupt departure calls into question his commitment to the team late in the season.  Was there late season collapse a result of he and other coaches not being full engaged with WSU?Finally, Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?” College sports have been forever ruined.

Will other plays now follow and could that mean the Cougars may not have enough bodies for the Holiday Bowl against Syracuse?  Should they even play the game anymore?  Puck is not angered by Mateer, he's angry with the system of college football. The Seahawks game was a letdown.  Seattle was dominated in every aspect of the game and showed why they are not in the class of the Packers and other Super Bowl contending NFC teams.  We got our first look at Sam Howell and it wasn't good. Why did Jim bet with Puck that Howell would start this season???The Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast with Tim Booth, Seattle Times, Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 and Jason “Puck” Puckett opens by saying the score could have been much worse and that Seattle really was delivered a wake up call where they sit in the NFC. The defense has been outstanding but what happened against Green Bay?  The Packers were always one step ahead of the Seahawks defense.  The offense for Seattle could never get going and once again were dominated on the line of scrimmage.   The injury to Geno Smith will be something to monitor for the week and if he can't go then they will turn to Sam Howell, who did not look good in his playing time against the Packers. The boys go through the tie breaking scenarios for the Seahawks as they wind down their season with three pivotal games looming against the Vikings, Bears and Rams. Once again, Geno Smith's performance in the red zone was awful.  it begs the question if you are Seattle if you should engage in significant money for him?  But, the Seahawks and Geno are in a similar spot because neither really has any leverage moving forward. Finally, Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck?!” John Mateer leaving Pullman is a loss for the Cougars, but also a loss for college football.
