Comments? Just thought I'd start building our 'net database of PT or SCC-related presentations at ABA from 1975 to the present. This way others can also judge whether sessions were "PT" or not, and see the basis for published counts of yearly frequencies of such presentations. This also kind of gives you an idea when people first checked in to ABA as well, and who presented but no longer does. Caveats: These references lists are subject to change, revision, and correction. There may have been additional presentations that used the Standard Celeration Chart, or which were about PT in some way, but which I could not ascertain from the information in the convention programs. Data for determining wether a presentation would be included includes (1) titles of paper and/or session, (2) names of presenters, and (3) other information such as the ABA categorization labels, or my attendance and witness of the session, including notes taken or tape recordings made. -- JE * Skinner & Lovaas presented together at ABA in this session, according to the program book, just for the record.
