Behavior Modification

Today is the anniversary of the birth of Sidney W. Bijou, one of the pre-eminent figures in the history of analysis and management of behavior. Professor Bijou passed away 11 June 2009.

Professor Bijou’s work provided the foundation and exemplars for much of what we do today. His three-volume application of behavioral principles to children’s development, written in collaboration with Donald M. Baer (volumes 1 and 2), was a powerful influence on me. I still have students in my single-subject research class read a 1960s article about collecting data in the field.
