content
The focus of the magazine is on experimental behavior analysis. Reports on experiments with human and animal subjects are published. The experiments are in most cases laboratory studies . Since the experimental behavior analysis deals in principle with all behavior of humans and animals, the individual studies can cover topics from a broad spectrum from economics to medicine to pharmacology . However, the focus is on research work on psychological issues.
history
The name of the journal goes back to the subtitle of BF Skinner's work " The behavior of organisms: An experimental analysis ". The idea for a separate journal for the then young discipline of experimental behavior analysis came from Charles B. Ferster, then a doctoral student and employee of Skinner at Harvard . At that time, two reasons were decisive for founding an own magazine: On the one hand, the desire for a uniform publication in which all important papers should be accessible at a glance and, on the other hand, the frequent rejection of papers in the field of experimental behavior analysis by established psychological journals . This rejection resulted from the experimental behavior analysis approach, which deviated from the experimental mainstream . With its focus on studies with only a few test subjects (single-subject research), this did not fit into the concept of many publishers of psychological journals.
