Comments on the Dissemination of Behavioral Technology
Richard W. Malott

Conclusions

To supplement the points Shimamune (1996) has made, we should further consider the following issues: the extent of the contributions of behavior analysis at a philosophical, theoretical, and practical level. The maintenance of trained behavior analysts. The placement of trained behavior analysts. The training of more behavior analysts. The failure to appreciate the importance of rule-governed behavior in the adoption of behavioral technology. The irrelevance of rationality to the adoption of behavioral technology. The distinction between commitment and adherence. The impact of the consultant role vs. the managerial role. The impact of behavioralizing the culture vs. popularizing specific behavioral technologies. Whether we should use a traditional experimental analysis model or an extended case study model in doing research on and development of a behavioral technology for the dissemination of behavior technology.
