Discusses the meaning of the term analysis both generally and within behavior analysis, including whether analysis is a consistent part of much that passes for applied behavior analysis (ABA); lists and describes seven ways analysis can be incorporated into ABA. Looks at the origin and meaning of the term experimental analysis, compares it to the term functional analysis and addresses the question: To what extent is the analytic dimension of applied behavior analysis (ABA) present in applied behavior analytic research and practice? Describes the role of analysis in applied behavior analytic research. Discusses seven levels of experimental analysis practitioners can carry out to better understand the behaviors of their clients and the people in the client’s life.
