Experimental Psychology: Behavior Analysis Program
Experimental Psychology: Behavior Analysis Program • Portuguese Home
Brief Presentation
The program is characterized by an epistemological, methodological, and conceptual approach from the perspective of Radical Behaviorism and Experimental Analysis of Behavior. It means that the specificity of the program cannot be found in highlighting some of the areas of activity that have traditionally been encompassed by the psychologist's professional practice (for example, clinical, educational, organizational, community, etc.). Nor will its specificity be found in an emphasis on some special type of research (e.g. basic, applied, conceptual, empirical, experimental, etc.)
Lines of Research
The Program is organized around three lines of research:
-
History and Epistemological, Methodological, and Conceptual Foundations of Behavior Analysis
- Basic Processes in Behavior Analysis
- Development of Intervention Methodologies and Technologies
