Abstract | Research on Behavior Analysis misconceptions gained popularity duringthe 1980's as a result of the 'cognitive revolution' of the 1970's.However, by the late 1990's little new empirical research had beenpublished. I will give a brief overview of this early research, and thendescribe new research in our laboratory focusing on 1) whether thosemisconceptions measured in the 1980's are still prevalent in 2017, and 2)how Applied Behavior Analysis can benefit from empirical research onmisconceptions, especially as it relates to the parent's of childrendiagnosed with autism. |

is engaged in research on behavior analysis, particularly behavioral pharmacology and behavioral economics.
When we expressed our hope that he would give a lecture during his short stay, he kindly agreed to speak on
conceptual issues related to behavioral research under the title mentioned above. Members of the Mita Philosophical Society
and all other interested parties are welcome to attend.
