Big shout out to Jordan - such an eloquent and concise summary! Check out his work at: www.researchgate.net/profile/Jordan_Belisle and learn more about RFT over at ACBS: contextualscience.org/rft
We'll have a podcast on it in a few weeks over at ruclips.net/channel/UC3DICkV6t91kMrxDY32GXkg and there's links in the description to read about it! :)
What I am not getting is that this seems to be based on the theory that humans understand language therefore are different than animals, but this has some negative connotations as well such as when we look at pre-literary groups from the indigenous to African tribes. The being to relate words to an object is the central argument here, unless I am missing something.
Any group that's communicating with entailment, mutual entailment and transformation of stimulus functions (i.e., any language, regardless of topography) is language from an RFT perspective, so that scenario would still be included.
I think we are seeing even greater relational density in our current political climate. My first thought wasn't about politics, but fundamentalist religious groups (though the two seem to be merging lately). It's been almost two years - what's the current status of relational density theory? Is there a valid measure of relational density? Any success at changing relational density?

Awesome presentation! Super interested in relational density theory and hope to hear more about that

Thank you! Straight to the point explanation. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!

Love it!! Is the research book out yet?
Haven't seen it around yet!
Where can you get the book?
Google i think
