Webinar Description

Behavior analysis is a powerful, highly generalizable science. We hear things like “why are we not acting to save the world” or “everything is behavior.” But if our science were that grandiose, wouldn’t we see more influence from our field? In this talk, Dr. Spiker will discuss the science-to-practice gap that behavior analysis continues to suffer from well into 2025 using case examples from within and outside of our field.
