Using Applied Behavior Analysis to Address Problems of Mainstream, Everyday Life PATRICK C. FRIMAN, Boys Town
Skinner's vision of behavior analysis was that it would become a mainstream science pertinent to virtually aspects of human life. Yet applicability of behavior analysis to human problems is still seen as very limited by those outside the field. If behavior analysis is to become a mainstream science it will have to address more mainstream problems. Potential examples are virtually limitless. This presentation will cover a range of problems that have either benefited from or could benefit from behavior analysis and that are extensive both in terms of the frequency of their occurrence and their relevance to mainstream human life.
