According to recent research, trends in ABA are moving towards a social-cognitive approach or inclusion of the consideration of mind, thought, and internal behavior... More of how thoughts influence behavior and how to treat accordingly.
Oxymoron or realistic, functional application? A science that prides itself on treating observeable behavior now lending itself to the science of the mind, including mental illness, stress, anxiety, history...
I know ABA currently accounts for condition of mind when evaluating behavior insofar as it accounts for EO, satiation, etc, but the research has never dedicated itself to such an internal evaluation of behavior.
Thoughts?
