About the presentation:
Dr. Murray Sidman responded to questions from the European Journal of Behavior Analysis about his contributions to the science of applied behavior analysis, as well as current topics in the field. Rigorous research methodologies along with our approach to populations outside of behavior analysis continue to be paramount to the dissemination and acceptance of our science. Dr. Sidman also elaborated on stimulus equivalence, relational frame theory, and reflections of his early education.
