 I'm back. A term that's very near and dear to all of our hearts is applied behavior analysis. Applied behavior analysis is the science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior. Applied behavior analysis was formally founded in 1968 when Don Bayer, Montrose Wolf, and Todd Risley wrote a wonderful paper called, exactly, and that worked wonderfully. The paper was called Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis. The techniques had been started years and years before. The experimental analysis of behavior in which these principles and techniques were derived from had been started decades before, but it was formalized into a real field in 1968 by those three people.
