ABSTRACT
In 1968, the publication of Issue #1, Volume I of the Journal of Ap plied Behavior Analysis (JABA) marked an important point at which the experimental analysis of behavior extended the application of behav ioral principles to the study of human behavior. In this seminal issue, Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968) laid the foundation for the application of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to the study and improvement of hu man behavior. Subsequent papers in JABA and other behavior-related journals demonstrated functional relations between changes in adult and child behaviors, both academic and social.
