Acknowledged for both its storytelling model and scientific precision, Key Aspects of Behavior serves as the primary guide to behavior evaluation. Through an investigation of experimental, applied, and theoretical principles, the authors recapitulate the major dialogues in the field. They animate the material using amusing and captivating language and illustrate how the principles of behavior pertain to their everyday experiences. The tried-and-tested pedagogy of the text renders the content as comprehensible as possible without oversimplifying the concepts. Each section comprises study objectives, key terms, and review questions that prompt students to assess their comprehension before progressing, and interspersed throughout the text are real-life exemplars and case studies to elucidate key principles and ideas.

This edition incorporates some substantial structural modifications: the respondent conditioning chapter is now positioned as Chapter 1, a general introduction to operant conditioning is now covered in Chapters 2 and 3, and the introduction to research methodologies is now addressed in Chapter 4. These modifications have been implemented to assist educators in preparing students for initiating a research project at the commencement of the course. Two novel chapters include Chapter 5 on the philosophy endorsing behavior analysis, and Chapter 24 on verbal behavior that introduces B.F. Skinner’s method and vocabulary. This edition also features a fresh full-color layout and over 400 colorful illustrations, tables, and charts.

Key Aspects of Behavior is an indispensable asset for both introductory and intermediate courses in behavior analysis. It is meticulously tailored to the duration of a standard academic semester and the instructional approach typically employed in behavior analysis courses, with each section aligning with a week’s worth of coursework. The text can also serve as the initial step in a student’s progression towards becoming a professional behavior analyst at the undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral level. Every segment of the text is aligned with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) task list, serving as an excellent preliminary guide to most of the BACB responsibilities.
