EDITORIAL BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS AND TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Behavior analysis as a natural science approach to the study of behavior is closely related to technology. Technology, understood as the use and knowledge of tools, techniques, systems or methods in order to solve a problem or serve some purpose (Twyman, 2011), is and always has been an integral part of behavior analysis. Some of this technology is developed within behavior analysis. Iconic tools like operant chambers and teaching machines are only two examples of such endogenous technology (see Lattal, 2008). The development of techniques, systems and methods, or the technology of the process (Layng & Twyman, 2014), is essential to applied behavior analysis. Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968) noted that applied behavior analysis should be, by definition, technological. Therefore, every paper in which tools or processes developed within the discipline are used, is an example of the relation between behavior analysis and technology.
