    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Science
    • Ecology

    Background:

    • Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a specialized form of behavioral technology.
    • Behavioral ecology emphasizes the systemic interdependencies between environment, organism, and behavior.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss applied behavior analysis from a behavioral ecology perspective.
    • To explore the potential for unintended consequences of interventions.
    • To advocate for cooperation between behavioral technologists and ecologists.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis integrating principles of behavioral ecology into applied behavior analysis.
    • Examination of interdependencies within environmental, organismic, and behavioral systems.
    • Identification of potential unintended effects of behavioral interventions.

    Main Results:

    • Behavioral ecology provides a framework for understanding complex interactions in ABA.
    • Simple interventions can have widespread, unintended effects.
    • Shared values and assumptions facilitate cooperation between technologists and ecologists.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating ecological perspectives enhances the effectiveness and safety of behavioral technology.
    • Cooperative research efforts between behavioral technologists and ecologists are mutually beneficial.
    • Further collaboration is needed to address complex behavioral and environmental issues.
