VELASCO, Saulo Missiaggia; GARCIA-MIJARES, Miriam  y  TOMANARI, Gerson Yukio. Methodological Principles of Research in Experimental Analysis of Behavior. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2010, vol.4, n.2, pp. 150-155. ISSN 1982-1247.

The research method that applies single-subject designs is a hallmark in the Experimental Analysis of Behavior. The ways behavior analysts state their questions, measure behavior, perform experimental comparisons, analyze data and derive conclusions are relatively distinct from the methods applied in other fields of Psychology. The goal of the current paper is to summarize the main features of this peculiar strategy of scientific research, as well as to make explicit the relationships that their strategies and tactics maintain with a set of theoretical conceptions regarding the nature of its object of investigation, that is, the behavior of the organisms.

Palabras clave : Behaviorism; experimental analysis of behavior; research methods; single-subject design.
