In this presentation to the Society for the Quantitative Analyses of Behavior (SQAB) in 1998, Murray Sidman describes the development (from 1965 to 1975) of behavior-change programs implemented outside the animal laboratory to benefit humans before such application was established formally as an entity derived from the experimental analysis of behavior. The presentation illustrates the use of an inductive method in practice, where working with a fluid behavior stream entails making intervention decisions on the spot.

In an interview, Bob Bailey shares his unique path into behavior analysis, beginning as a chemist and biologist drawn to animal behavior. He discusses his pioneering role in animal training, including directing the US Navy Dolphin Program and collaborating with the Brelands. Bailey highlights the value of data, experimental design, and innovations like the “Keep going signal” in enhancing training. He urges future trainers to adopt a scientific mindset, collaborate across disciplines, and continue evolving the field.

In this interview, Leonard Green shares his unexpected path into behavior analysis, sparked by undergraduate courses and influential readings.

In 1991, Allen Neuringer published a call for behaviorists to be more humble. He argued that greater humility would be functional in that it would lead to greater collaboration, better research, and more widespread acceptance of behavioral research. In 2022, Kirby and colleagues revisited Neuringer’s call and integrated it with other recommendations by behavior analysts to present a framework of cultural reprocity. This focus pack includes two quizzes based on these articles and a final, integrative quiz that encourages comparison and synthesis.

In 2001, the first book-length treatment of relational frame theory (RFT) was published. It spawned several reviews and critiques in behavior-analytic journals, including prominent ones by Mark Galizio and David Palmer. Two of the lead authors of the RFT book (Steve Hayes and Dermot Barnes-Holmes) published a response to those critiques. Then, in 2011, Jack Michael, David Palmer, and Mark Sundberg published an article on multiple control, which they assert can account for derived relations and naming. In this focus pack, you will read all of these articles to gain a better understanding of the advanced topics surrounding the analysis of complex human behavior.
