Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1987) argue that applied behavior analysis must shift its emphasis away from simply demonstrating behavior change. What is the more important focus in their opinion?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include: A more complete analysis and conceptual understanding of the principles that underlie successful demonstrations of behavior change. The field's concept of analytic has changed. Applied behavior analysis is now considered analytic when it makes convincing demonstrations of behavior change and when the behavior change methods make systematic and conceptual sense. It must now be clear why things have worked.
