Areas of responsibility

Dr. Simon holds a Ph.D. degree in Behavior Analysis from Oslo Metropolitan University (Norway) and a master's degree with distinction in Psychology from studies at Stockholm's University (Sweden), University of California, Davis (USA), and TU Braunschweig (Germany). She is alumna av the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (studienstiftung.de/en/leitbild/) and speaks English, Norwegian, Swedish and German.

Dr. Simon's empirical research explores procedures for answering queries such as what environmental events (primarily a conversational partner’s verbal behavior) affect how long we speak, who we speak to, what we talk about, how often we change the topic and so on. In previous studies, she controlled for a conversational partner’s frequency of agreement utterances or utterances of “uhu” and “mhm”. Her concepual research is concerned with the relation between learning and Darwinian evolution.

Philosophy of Science and Behavior Analysis

Research

My research interest lies in the empirical examination of feedback relations between the behavior of organisms and their environment, as well as in the theoretical, philosophical and conceptual basis of the natural science of behavior.

Both my basic experimental and my conceptual studies center around the question what constitutes meaningful behavioral and environmental units of analysis. My empirical work explores the question how we ought to divide the continuous stream of verbal behavior into units of analysis. I develop research procedures aiming at an effective examination of adults’ interactions in conversations. I analyze verbal behavior at different degrees of complexity from a natural scientific perspective. My conceptual inquiries explore the relation of Darwinian selection and selection of behavior during ontogeny. My work is situated in a molar-multiscale framework treating behavioral events as natural events with differing temporal extensions. I am arguing for a choice of analytical units in line with ontological and epistemological reasoning.

Other research interest: Relationship between ontogenetic and phylogenetic selection, evolution of cooperation, the Nordic Model, other aspects of behavior analytic basic scientific research.

This paper outlines conceptual challenges in studying verbal behavior and sets the stage for future research on verbal interactions from a fresh perspective. Different approaches to identifying verbal operants independent of those suggested by Skinner (1957) are discussed. How should we break down the continuous flow of verbal behavior into units that we can measure? What is it in a conversation that is selected by its environment and how does this unit hold together? How can we achieve measurements of relevant aspects of verbal behavior? These and other questions are explored to prepare for empirical research on the question of units of selection in verbal interaction

The signaling perspective offers an alternative to the Skinnerian view of understanding behavior. The signaling effects of reinforcers have predominantly been explored in the laboratory with nonhuman subjects. To test the implications of this view for applied behavior analysis, we contrasted the effect of discriminative stimulus versus reinforcer control in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We aimed to determine whether the duration of their transitions from one reinforcer context to another is controlled by their most recent past or the likely future based on more extended past experience. Reinforcer context (rich, moderate, or lean) was signaled in the first condition. We observed that transition times to the leaner reinforcer were longer than those to the richer. The reinforcer context was unsignaled in the second condition. The differences between transition times disappeared in the second condition. The difference in durations of transitions to signaled and unsignaled reinforcer densities suggests that behavior is primarily controlled by signals of likely future reinforcers as extrapolated from extended past experience rather than strengthened by the most recent event.

Experimentally and theoretically oriented behaviour analysts have predominantly debated the usefulness of the ‘response strength’ concept. We analysed applied studies to open the discussion on the usefulness of ‘response strength’ versus an alternative view on understanding how the past controls current behaviour in applied contexts. This review examined five studies that focused on evaluating an intervention using stimulus control Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)-based techniques to teach skills to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The review aims to understand if behaviour change in applied studies is most straightforwardly understood as driven by the most recent past events or by likely future events extrapolated from more extended past patterns of events. The former is the basis of the concept of response strength. In the latter view, behaviour is exhaustively accounted for by identifying an extended pattern of events in the environment, which signals to the organism which behaviour will most likely produce a reinforcer. The findings of each study are analysed separately from both the signalling and the strengthening perspective. The results suggest that the signalling view provides a more comprehensive understanding of behaviour modification interventions in children with ASD. Implications for future research are also discussed.

The behavioral phenotype of an organism results from selective processes acting on variation in behavioral traits during ontogeny (during life span) and phylogeny (across generations). Different adaptive processes can be categorized as environment-phenotype feedback loops. In this cross-disciplinary approach, we discuss the interaction of ontogenetic selective processes, traditionally studied by behavior analysts, and phylogenetic selection processes, traditionally studied by biologists. We elaborate upon the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis by addressing the connection between selection as a domain-general process and phenomena such as classical and operant conditioning, imprinting, adjunctive behavior, and gene-culture coevolution. Selection is in this context understood as a dynamic iterative feedback loop producing a phenotype beyond the strict morphotype. The extended phenotype is related to the concept of niche construction in which the behavior of organisms shapes their environment, which again selects the behavior of the organisms in an iterative process. A discussion of interacting environmental factors selecting human food choice both during phylogeny and ontogeny exemplifies the generality of selection processes acting on behavior.

In a replication and extension of Conger and Killeen's (1974) widely cited demonstration of matching in conversations, we evaluated nine participants’ allocation of speech and gaze to two conversational partners. German speakers participated in two 90-min sessions in which confederates uttered approval on independent variable-interval schedules. In one of the sessions, confederates uttered approval contingent upon and contiguous with eye contact whereas in the other session approval was uttered independent of the participant's gaze. Several measures of participants’ verbal behavior were taken, including relative duration and rate of speech and gaze. These were compared to confederates’ relative rate of approval and relative duration and rate of talk. The generalized matching equation was fitted to the various relations between participants’ behavior and confederates’ behavior. Conger and Killeen's results were not replicated; participants’ response allocation did not show a systematic relation to the confederates’ relative rate of approval. The strongest relations were to overall talk, rather than approval. In both conditions, the participant talked more to the confederate who talked less—inverse or antimatching. Participants’ gaze showed the same inverse relation to the confederates’ talk. Requiring gaze to be directed toward a confederate for delivery of approval made no difference in the results. The absence of a difference combined with prior research suggests that matching or antimatching in conversations is more likely due to induction than to reinforcement.

Many situations in human life present choices between (a) alternatives beneficial to an individual and (b) alternatives that are less beneficial to the individual that would nevertheless be beneficial if chosen by many individuals. Choices of the latter alternative are generally considered cooperative. Taking the supposition that a lack of cooperation between and amongst societies lies behind many crises of the 21st century as its point of origin, the paper takes a two-step approach to shed light on the Nordic cultural-evolutionary puzzle of managing to maintain a dynamic equilibrium between competition and cooperation. First, the paper suggests regarding cooperation as a valuable temporally extended pattern of behavior that may be learned and maintained over an individual’s lifetime. Second, the paper examines how Norwegian and Swedish culture fosters a commitment to extended patterns of cooperative behavior. By means of interpreting successful Scandinavian cultural characteristics in the light of selection of behavior both during phylogeny and during ontogeny, the paper derives hypotheses about functional relations between behavioral and environmental events, which make for the success of the Nordic nations and which might inspire policy development in other countries.

This autobiographical account traces my journey from disillusionment with traditional psychology to a deep engagement with behavior analysis, particularly the molar view of verbal behavior. Initially inspired by William Baum’s Understanding Behaviorism, I questioned cognitive explanations and sought a natural science of behavior rooted in environmental contingencies. My academic path, shaped by unconventional opportunities and persistent challenges, led to collaborations with key figures such as Baum and Hessen. These relationships helped integrate behavior analysis with evolutionary theory, emphasizing selection processes across ontogeny and phylogeny. Empirical work focused on identifying meaningful units of verbal behavior, often through pilot studies with limited resources. A pivotal study challenged the reinforcement-based interpretation of speech allocation, suggesting alternative mechanisms. Despite setbacks—including failed replications, methodological hurdles, and lack of institutional support—I continued to explore verbal behavior through a molar lens. This narrative highlights the importance of philosophical clarity, empirical rigor, and scholarly networks in advancing behavior analysis. It advocates for a multiscale, selectionist approach to verbal behavior, aiming to bridge theoretical insights with experimental practice and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of human interaction

Behaviorism is the philosophy of science that asserts the possibility of a natural science of behavior. Its ontology is monistic. Its epistemology is pragmatic. It underpins the science called behavior analysis, its theories and applications. Several versions of behaviorism exist. Historically, B. F. Skinner’s version, “radical behaviorism,” has been most widely recognized. More recently, W. M. Baum’s “multiscale molar behaviorism” has gained recognition as an alternative. H. Rachlin’s “teleological behaviorism” complements Baum’s. The term “methodological behaviorism” has caused confusion, because definitions vary. It assumes dualism and maintains that only objective behavior is subject to scientific methods, and some versions promote making inferences about the inner or subjective phenomena from behavior. Many psychologists are unknowing methodological behaviorists. Like any living science, behavior analysis and its underpinning philosophy continue to evolve. Reports of the death of behaviorism are based on distorted and uninformed views of what behaviorism actually is.

The behavior of organisms is shaped by a blend of environmental factors spanning a species' evolutionary timeline and individual lifetimes. Natural selection elucidates how physiological and behavioral traits are changed across generations to suit the prevailing environment. Within each generation, ontogenetic selection processes further refine organismal behavior in response to the environment. This poster delves into the impact of ontogenetic selection processes driven by environmental events on verbal behavior and explores their connection to natural selection. It also underscores the significance of this link. The poster bridges these conceptual analyses with empirical studies on verbal interactions, particularly in conversations. These studies employ experimental procedures to probe variables influencing topic (word) choice, talk duration, and the distribution of talk and gaze among conversational partners. The latter is investigated in a study on matching in conversations, which looks into attempts to expand on the (molar) multiscale approach to an analysis of verbal behavior.
