We propose this book as a celebration of the outstanding research
and teaching career of Professor Barbara Coleman Etzel. The editors
and authors are her students and her worldwide colleagues. She
directed us toward the issues of antecedent control at a time when
we thought altering consequences could solve all problems. She
developed a model of how a preschool teaching and research
laboratory should be run by creating the very environmental
controls evident in her work. This book is testimony to her
influence on our professional careers and to our affection for her.
Analysis of the way the environment influences behavior is
essential to our understanding of human development. This volume
collects original, never-published work that describes how people
conceptualize, think, and behave. Environment and Behavior presents
empirical studies that test theoretical assumptions and illustrate
how to integrate environmental awareness into professional practice
and design. The ability to categorize-to think in larger and more
inclusive classifications and, at the same time, in smaller and
more exclusive subdivisions-is a hallmark of conceptual
development, It is the kind of development that makes humans
distinctly rational, symbolic, and logical. This book presents a
new way of viewing the conceptual development of normal and
developmentally disabled children and the conceptual reorganization
of adults. Individual conceptual ability is demonstrated across an
impressive range of issues: private events, language development
and function, child abuse, sexual abuse, drug abuse, autism, aging,
professional practice, and environmental and cultural design.
Additional commentary for each section is provided by the editors.
Those working or studying in the areas of psychology, education,
human development, social work, and disability will find this book
to be a current and thorough introduction to the subject.
Professionals and researchers also will find much of interest in
