1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Relational frame theory (RFT) as a behavior-analytic approach to understanding human language and cognition is now over 40 years old. However, the last 8 years have seen a relatively intense period of empirical and conceptual developments within the theory. Some of this work has begun to draw on early and much underplayed features of RFT, including field-theoretical analyses and concepts. These analyses are relatively nascent and thus the current article aims to provide a relatively detailed example of a field-theoretical analysis of a specific RFT research program. We begin with a brief overview of the "traditional" RFT approach to human language and cognition, followed by a summary of recent research involving the implicit relational assessment procedure (IRAP) and the differential arbitrarily applicable relational responding effects (DAARRE) model. We then go on to consider the DAARRE model in the context of J. R. Kantor's interbehavioral formula for the psychological event. Having done so, we conclude that the challenge involved in analyzing increasingly complex forms of human language and cognition appears to call for more field-based theorizing in some form or another.
