Mission/Objectives
The mission of the EAHB-SIG is to promote the experimental analysis of behavior with human subjects to investigate fundamental questions about the nature of human behavior.
Description of Membership
Information on joining the EAHB SIG can be found at www.eahb.org. Members receive e-mail updates about SIG activities and new additions to the SIG's online journal, the EAHB Bulletin. Members are also encouraged to attend our annual meeting at ABA and are welcome to submit recent conference presentations, grants, and publications to the EAHB Bulletin.
Recurring Annual Events
The SIG holds its business meeting annually at the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABA International) convention. In addition, the EAHB-SIG holds an annual Student Paper Competition. This competition is designed to promote scholarly activity in the experimental analysis of human behavior and to recognize young talent in the field. All entrants in the competition receive a professional review of their submissions. Outstanding projects are recognized at the SIG annual business meeting and students are invited to present their paper as a poster at ABA International's annual convention. The SIG also pays the convention registration fee for award winners. Please see the SIG Web site for submission information, or contact Eric Jacobs, the coordinator of the event, at eajacobs@siu.edu. The next deadline for submissions was September 7, 2007.
Since 2003 the EAHB-SIG has presented an annual Distinguished Career Award during ABA International's convention to an individual who has made outstanding lifetime contributions to the experimental analysis of human behavior. Award recipients are given a plaque in acknowledgement of their achievement and are given the opportunity to give an invited address.
Publications/Newsletters
The SIG sponsors and maintains the EAHB Bulletin, an on-line, ongoing journal for brief research reports, ongoing research, technical information, and other articles related to human operant research. Laboratory descriptions and member activities are also welcome. All brief reports are peer reviewed. Information about submitting articles for publication in the Bulletin can be found on the SIG Web site at www.EAHB.org.
