Bayles, Makenzie W.; Boutain, Ariana R.; Brandt, Julie A. Ackerlund; Call, Nikki; Dracobly, Joseph D.; Greer, Brian D.; Gureghian, Danielle L.; Harper, Amy M.; Merritt, Todd A.; Miller, Jonathan R.; Payne, Steven W.; Morris, Edward K. – Behavior Analyst, 2012
An issue of "The Behavior Analyst" contained an article by Critchfield (2011), entitled "Interesting Times: Practice, Science, and Professional Associations in Behavior Analysis," about a rift between the field's scientists and practitioners. Critchfield observed that the science and practice of behavior analysis are subject to different…

Translational Behavior Analysis and Practical Benefits
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pilgrim, Carol – Behavior Analyst, 2011
In his article, Critchfield ("Translational Contributions of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior," "The Behavior Analyst," v34, p3-17, 2011) summarizes a previous call (Mace & Critchfield, 2010) for basic scientists to reexamine the inspiration for their research and turn increasingly to translational approaches. Interestingly, rather than…

McKerchar, Todd L.; Morris, Edward K.; Smith, Nathaniel G. – Behavior Analyst, 2011
This paper describes and analyzes B. F. Skinner's coauthoring practices. After identifying his 35 coauthored publications and 27 coauthors, we analyze his coauthored works by their form (e.g., journal articles) and kind (e.g., empirical); identify the journals in which he published and their type (e.g., data-type); describe his overall and local…

DeLeon, Iser G. – Behavior Analyst, 2011
So it appears that the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB) could benefit from intervention aimed at increasing its translational footprint, thus promoting continued recognition and support as a valuable social enterprise. The author greatly appreciates Critchfield's ("Translational Contributions of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior," "The…

The Search for an Effective Clinical Behavior Analysis: The Nonlinear Thinking of Israel Goldiamond
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Layng, T. V. Joe – Behavior Analyst, 2009
This paper has two purposes; the first is to reintroduce Goldiamond's constructional approach to clinical behavior analysis and to the field of behavior analysis as a whole, which, unfortunately, remains largely unaware of his nonlinear functional analysis and its implications. The approach is not simply a set of clinical techniques; instead it…
