Society for Quantitative Analyses of Behavior

The Society for Quantitative Analyses of Behavior (SQAB) was founded in 1978 by M. L. Commons and J. A. Nevin to present symposia and publish material which bring a quantitative analysis to bear on the understanding of behavior. A brief history is available. This International Society holds its annual meeting in conjunction with the Association for Behavior Analysis (ABA). Talks at SQAB focus on the development and use of mathematical formulations to: characterize one or more dimensions of an obtained data set, derive predictions to be compared with data, and generate novel data analyses.
