| Abstract: The mission of the Cambridge Center is to advance the scientific study of behavior and its humane applications to practical problems. For example, in the adoption of behavior-based practices in education, clinical services, parenting and the quality of work life.
Skinner challenged us to apply our research and technology to the problems facing our society and the world. How are we doing? How might our field, each of us as behavior analysts and CCBS improve our effectiveness in making a difference? What are best roles and practices for the Cambridge Center?
This panel discussion will address the following areas:1. Getting things done - a perspective on roles for behavior analysts; communication with the public and policy makers, 2. Building more effective methods and practices in education - thinking globally and taking local action, 3. Guiding practices that lead to healthy selection and survival by organizations. |
