Discussion 8

Applied Behavior Analysis is a science.  It is also a field of practice governed by a certification body, the BACB.  This organization has issued The Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts.  Based on your readings and videos,  describe a behavior analyst’s ethical responsibility related to the application of the principles underlying operant conditioning (Task list items B1-7).   Discuss how this responsibility for ethical application of these principles lies upon practitioners and researchers. Give specific examples to support your discussion based on the entirety of your learning in this course.
