“Not really, not in the modern sense. I’m not really sure what the OP meant by “behavioral psychology”. All psychology is behavioral to some degree, since psychology is by definition the study of human behavior among other things. Cognitive psychology is often the study of behavioral outcomes and how cognition affects them and vice versa. “Experimental analysis of behavior” is what every psychologist who uses experimental methods does, since psychology is the study of the mind, brain, and behavior.”</p>
<p>Sure, psychology has broadly adopted a methodological behaviorism, so in that sense it is “behavioral,” and, clearly, research psychologists conduct experiments. Nonetheless, the field known as “the experimental analysis of behavior” is not what every psychologist does. EAB (and its sister field of applied behavior analysis) is a distinct theoretical and methodological approach based in the operant psychology developed by Skinner and his successors. It’s that approach to which I referred to in my earlier post, which was a reply to the OP’s question about “behavioral psychology.” In retrospect, I’m not quite what the OP understands by the term, “behavioral psychology,” but my reply referenced what is commonly understood by that term. It is clearly different than cognitive psychology.</p>
