Journals on Applied Behavior Analysis

Applied behavior analysis, or ABA, is the science of predicting human behavior by observing measurable relationships between environment and behavior. These observation can then be used to design methods to modify behavior. The best-publicized cases where ABA is used are those that involve learning and developmental disabilities, such as autism. However, ABA methods and theories are used in areas as varied as parenting, AIDS prevention, medical procedures and seat-belt use. Applied behavior scientists write for journals in many areas, but there are some journals which focus entirely on applied behavior analysis papers.
