The Role of Women in the Development of Behavior Analysis in Latin America belongs in serious BCBA study because it shapes whether behavior-analytic decisions stay useful once they leave a clean training example and enter case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In The Role of Women in the Development of Behavior, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Despite the socioeconomic factors (e.g. military interventions, economic support, and prevalence of social problems) that hampered the growth of behavior analysis in Latin America (López et al., 2010), many Latin American women have concentrated their effort on the progress of behavior analysis (Gutiérrez & Landeira-Fernández, 2018). The purpose of this presentation is to show the contribution of Latin American women to behavior-analytic programs and research programs. This presentation will describe how the effort and sacrifices of women generated great advances in Latin American behavior analysis.
