Brief Report of Supervisors Teaching of Experimental Analysis During Fieldwork Experience

The Task List (BACB: Behavior Analysis Certification Board, 2022) for Board Certified Behavior Analysts level training requires instruction in experimental analysis (EA). The Ethics Code (BACB, 2020) requires EAs use in clinical practice. However, research indicates many BCBAs do not report using EA in clinical practice. It is possible that lack of EA use may result from lack of generalization from academic classrooms to fieldwork experiences. This study examined behavior analysts (N=56) reports of teaching EA during supervision and the barriers to why they may not include it within fieldwork supervision. Results indicated that approximately 1/3rd of behavior analysts taught the use of EA during fieldwork. Lack of resources and supervisor training ranked as the most significant barriers, while reimbursement was ranked as the least influential barrier to teaching EA during fieldwork. This study suggests the need to further evaluate supervisors teaching of EA during fieldwork and the barriers to generalizing EA to fieldwork.
