Abstract

Las acciones de las personas dedicadas al análisis de conducta están guiadaspor los mismos principios (i.e. determinismo, empirismo, experimentación, replicación, parsimonia, duda filosófica) que guían la actuación en cualquier otradisciplina científica. Estos principios nos han ayudado a describir, predecir y controlar el comportamiento de distintos organismos, crear nuevas tecnologías (p.ej. nuevas técnicas para análisis funcionales, análisis de sistemas sociales, nuevos diseños intra-sujeto, etc.) y elaborar nuevos conceptos dentro de las ciencias del comportamiento (p.ej. relaciones de equivalencia entre estímulos y otras relaciones arbitrarias entre estímulos, teorías sobre el desarrollo de la conducta verbal, operaciones motivadoras condicionadas, etc.). Sin embargo, estos principios no son los únicos que guían o controlan el comportamiento de las personas dedicadas al análisis de conducta. Los y las analistas de conducta toman decisiones que afectan directa e indirectamente al comportamiento de otros organismos; en este sentido, los principios científicos determinan cómo se deben analizar las variables que controlan el comportamiento, pero no sobre qué comportamientos se debe intervenir ni cómo se debe intervenir sobre los mismos.
