The SIG promotes behavior analytic empirical and conceptual analyses of issues related to behavioral development, and encourages examination of how methodological and theoretical positions outside behavior analysis approach these issues empirically and conceptually. These kinds of analyses have often dealt with complex kinds of behavior such as stimulus equivalence, relational frames, language and problem solving, as well as normal and problematic behaviors and social interactions, and with historical bases of behaviorism and behavior analysis as basic science and applied practice. The Business Meeting will review activities over the past year and discuss plans for the next. |
