| Abstract: The welcome success of applied behavior analysis has led ABAI to direct much of its resources to the needs of practioners. This has led some basic experimenters to worry that ABAI is following the path set by the American Psychological Association - a path that led many dissatisfied scientists to depart an increasingly guild-oriented APA for a new science-oriented American Psychological Society. This panel of Past Presidents of ABAI will discuss the growth of practioner interests in ABAI and the future place of basic experimenters within the organization. |
