Summary: "Applied behavior analysis has become more mature and sophisti-cated since the second edition was published. Although the basic principles of behavior remain unchanged, advances in all three interrelated domains of the science of behavior-- theoretical, basic research, and applied research--have improved our under-standing of those principles and led to increased effectiveness in developing and applying effective and humane behavior change interventions. These developments are reflected in the more than 1,000 new references to the conceptual, basic, and applied liter-atures of behavior analysis added to this edition"--
