The Integration of Technology in Behavior Analytic Pursuits belongs in serious BCBA study because it shapes whether behavior-analytic decisions stay useful once they leave a clean training example and enter clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In The Integration of Technology in Behavior Analytic Pursuits, for this course, the practical stakes show up in faster workflow without clinical drift, privacy loss, or weak oversight, not in abstract discussion alone.

This symposium will explore the current and potential use of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technologies specifically. The first speaker will present on the accuracy of a common AI tool in handling ABA-specific challenges, as well as clinicians' preference for and identification of AI responses. The second speaker will provide a preliminary analysis of a prototype caregiver persona to aid in training behavior analysts to use the Constructional Questionnaire (Goldiamond, 1974; Layng et al., 2022). The third speaker will present data from a pilot study exploring the use of VR in delivering an episodic future thinking (EFT) intervention and the effects on a decision-making task. The final speaker will discuss results from a data-based demonstration of an automated training for pre-service behavior analysts on how to conduct functional analysis for challenging behavior in a fully immersive VR environment. Together, these talks highlight the potential utility of AI and VR in ABA and emphasize the importance of future research in these areas.
