Translational Research in Behavior Analysis

This chapter discusses the modern push by funding organizations such as the National Institutes of Health to translate basic research findings into applications that benefit human health and well-being. Dube notes that these translational activities were an early development in behavior analysis and discusses how research in applied settings has often produced a reverse translation in which applied research findings are fed back into basic research activities.
