Applied, behavioral, analytic and… technological: a current literature review on the use of technologies in behavior analysis

ABSTRACT

We conducted a literature review regarding the use of technology in both the experimental and applied settings of behavior analysis. The use of technology began with the onset of the field of behavior analysis and continued to develop over time. Behavior analysts should be familiar with the use of technology, both in the process of data collection and intervention planning and implementation. We summarize by providing advantages and disadvantages for using technologies as found in the research literature.
