Reflections on Historical and Future Aspects

of Behavior Analysis

The Norwegian Association of Behavior Analysis celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2013. At the

annual meeting, we arranged a symposium on the historical and future trends in behavior analysis. Ten people agreed to be part of a panel in this symposium. The panel included national and

international behavior analysts, both senior and younger behavior analysts and students within

the field. The panel members were given 13 questions beforehand so they could prepare their

answers. Two of the questions were mandatory, but they could choose three additional questions

to answer. The panel members presented a variety of important areas to which behavior analysis

has contributed and addressed some of the future impacts behavior analysis may have on society.

The panelists’ presentations are written as arguments we found to be the most interesting and is

not meant to be a direct reproduction of their statements. In the discussion section, we highlight

two important areas based on the statements raised by the panelists. Hence, we argue that behavior

analysis has great potential and that it is important to improve the interdisciplinary perspective.

In conclusion, we suggest some further actions that can be done in time to come.
