Please make a detailed study guide for the following topics: Translational Research

1. Describe translational research and areas of research translation among laboratory, preclinical studies, and clinical trials. Describe what is meant by reverse translational research.
2. Define basic research and its aims and constraints. Define applied research and its aims and constraints.
3. Describe the scope of students published by the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior and the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis.
4. Identify that translational research might be conducted to: 1) demonstrate social significance of basic research as funding begins to dwindle, 2) develop mutually beneficial interactions between basic and applied research, and 3) develop pathways for turning basic findings into clinical applications

Stimulus Control

1. Define and identify examples of simple and conditional discriminations
2. Describe the role of conditional discriminations in stimulus equivalence studies.
3. Define and identify examples of stimulus control topography coherence issues, or faulty stimulus control, and how these issues might arise.
4. Define a functional stimulus class.
5. Describe characteristics of higher order operants and identify examples of these.

Conditioned Reinforcement

1. Define conditioned reinforcement
2. Describe procedures for developing a stimulus as a conditioned reinforcer including stimulus-stimulus pairing, response-stimulus pairing, and the new response procedure.
3. Describe concurrent chain arrangements and identify examples from basic and applied lines of research
4. Describe how concurrent chain arrangements have influenced our understanding of conditioned reinforcement
5. Describe what is meant by the value of a conditioned reinforcer. How do conditioned reinforcers gain value?

Behavioral Momentum

1. Summarize Behavioral Momentum Theory and define behavioral mass, resistance to change, and momentum
2. In behavioral momentum theory, define disruptor and provide examples.
3. State predictions made by behavioral momentum theory.
4. What is the effect of more extinction trials on resurgence? What is the effect of signaled extinction on resurgence?
