  • Call for Papers:Human Language and Cognition Within Modern Behavior Analysis 

    Despite different theoretical particularities, the study of human language and cognition within behavior-analysis seeks to develop a monistic, naturalistic account of human language and cognition that is devoid of mentalistic theorizing and speaks directly to practical concerns in educational, clinical, organizational, and other settings. The current special issue is intended to highlight such work from various areas in behavior analysis while focusing on a general theme of collaboration and cooperation among approaches. The focus of this call is primarily on conceptual/review pieces. Thus, while presenting data is encouraged, such presentations should be embedded within a broader conceptual narrative. Given the focus on collaboration and cooperation among different approaches within behavior analysis, submissions that seek to find areas of commonality and overlap between and /or among different approaches is highly encouraged. In this vein, submissions should make a genuine effort to contribute towards the building of a community of behavior-analytic researchers who are focused on human language and cognition. In doing so, it is important that authors seek to build bridges with other approaches rather than simply affirming already entrenched positions. Manuscripts will undergo regular peer review and in submitting a manuscript be sure to indicate that it is for this special issue.

    Submission Deadline: 1st March 2023

    Special issue editors: Colin Harte, Dermot Barnes-Holmes, Julio de Rose, Julian Leslie, Maithri Sivaraman
