Abstract
The present article discusses essential historical trends in behavior analysis in Europe, in terms of both organizations and conferences. Of particular interest is the series of the European Meetings on the Experimental Analysis of Behaviour held in different European cities between 1983 and 2000, just when the European Association for Behaviour Analysis (EABA) and the European Journal of Behavior Analysis (EJOBA) both started. This article not only extends the information on EABA and EJOBA from a previous publication (Arntzen et al., 2009) but also discusses other European behavior-analytic outlets and different ways in which behavior analysis is taught in Europe.
Highlights
The present article discusses essential historical trends in behavior analysis in Europe, in terms of both organizations and conferences
The present article is focused on some organizations, conferences, and journals that have had an impact on the foundation of the European Association for Behaviour Analysis (EABA) and the European Journal of Behavior Analysis (EJOBA)
In the 1980s and 1990s, respected experimental psychologists who were more aligned with associative learning joined their efforts with the Experimental Analysis of Behaviour Group (EABG) participants to produce meetings that were larger in attendance
Summary
We will argue that behavior analysis did not continue to expand in the way that we might have wanted in all its domains (see, e.g., Cooper et al, 2020, and Moore, 2008, for more details about the domains). We will argue that the situation for the domain of the experimental analysis of behavior is not very different from that of other countries worldwide. This article is an extension of the information about the status of behavior analysis in Europe from a previous report by Arntzen et al (2009). We will emphasize a view on the situation of behavior analysis in Europe and the role that an organization should have in fostering and sustaining collaborations between behavior analysts from the varied European regions
