By the end of his long life, B. F. Skinner (1904-1990) had become
one of the most influential and best known of psychologists
(Gilgen, 1982; Heyduke & Fenigstein, 1984). An important
feature of the approach to the study of behavior that he
championed, behavior analysis, is the intensive study of individual
subjects over time. This approach, which is characterized by the
use of within-subject experimental designs, repeated and direct
measures of behavior, and graphic analysis of data, stands in
marked contrast to the research methods favored by many
nonbehavioral psychologists. Skinner discussed the advantages of
his approach in a number of books (e.g., Skinner, 1938, 1953,
1979), but never devoted a book to methodology. Sidman (1960) and
Johnson and Pennypack (1993b) did devote books to behavior analytic
research methodology. These books are of excep tionally high
quality and should be read carefully by anyone interested in
behavior analysis. They are sophisticated, however, and are not
easy reads for most neophyte behaviorists. Introductory-level books
devoted entirely to methods of applied behavior analysis (e.g.,
Kazdin, 1982; Barlow & Hersen, 1984) are easier to understand,
but somewhat limited in coverage.
