 some of you might wonder why I'm up in a tree for that you're gonna have to watch a lot of freaking videos to really understand but largely speaking it's because this is the behavior beast series and where else do you find beasts but in trees maybe I don't know anyway it's probably a bad joke but whatever it's my joke and it was like quarter inch of space there folks that was that was well that was well-aligned I guess is the term so the white book babe analysis I just look brief I just look for a place to throw this and I couldn't let go I just couldn't do it I couldn't let it slide out of my hands it's that important no it's actually pretty good but whoa I about fellow my bacon which has nothing to do with sir never mind bad philosophy jokes huh by behavior analysis what you want to know I mean you can look at our definition which tells you a little bit about it I could give you a little bit of a story so I suppose I'm not gonna give you all the details because they're in like 75 different places written really well so I'm just gonna tell you that experimental analysis of behavior was around since the early 1900s and then in the 1950s in the early 60s people started applying those principles to everyday problems to be like oh my gosh we have this understanding of behavior so why don't we apply this understanding of behavior and these principles that we've discovered in the laboratory discovered that's an interesting word discovered in the laboratory to everyday problems there was some nursing stuff going on there was some stuff with well terms that I probably not gonna use on YouTube very often but again you can look up this stuff but by the early by the mid 1960s with a lot of different researchers and I'm not I really don't want to get into names I you'll find out over time that I don't like getting into researchers names it's too easy to screw up but anyway people like Bijou Bijou sorry Alan you know I don't know Michael there's a few big names here started doing some really applied work and the field eventually started to grow and people got interested in solving applied problems using these technologies and these these procedures that have been discovered discovered in the laboratory so through skinners early work and Watson stuff and whoa and Pavlop stuff and all sorts of different things we eventually figured out that you could solve everyday problems like how to climb a tree right so if somebody doesn't know how to climb a tree you could teach him right I suppose that that's a problem but or not my kids don't know how to climb trees and I don't either which is why a weird how you let you figure out how it got in the tree that's pretty strong so anyway so we started solving everyday problems with these with behavior analysis and the end result being that in 1968 the field was officially formalized there was the founding of the job of Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and of course the canonical paper written by Bayer Wolf and Risley which we'll talk about it another time but really Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and and apply behavior analysis in general 1968 that's where it's at that's when the program started that's when we hit the gas and kind of the field went nuts it wasn't like it was brand new that year wasn't just apparitions came out of nowhere it gently and slowly developed out of the work that Skinner and other researchers were doing in the laboratory and just that realization that we might be able to use these to to solve everyday problems and at that social significance that social value of solving a problem that's a problem for everyone or at least for one person is what makes our field genuinely unique I think at least in psychology it really is about the individual it's not just about a group of people or the average response it's about your response it's about how the heck you get out of a tree so anyway oh that was a lot higher than it looks because notice it's not even up to my boobs well maybe yeah kind of up to my boobs anyway so there you go folks see you later that was enough on applied behavior analysis take care
