The Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) is the scientific foundation of applied behavior analysis. EAB focuses on understanding fundamental behavioral processes — such as reinforcement, punishment, stimulus control, and motivation — through systematic experimentation, typically in controlled laboratory settings. The findings from EAB have informed the development of applied interventions across numerous fields, from education to health and organizational behavior.
