Behavior Modification and Other Psychology Information Applied behavior analysis is the application of the principles of classical and operant conditioning to modifying behavior in real-world situations. This approach to treating behavioral disorders and changing behavior is also called behavior modification. Applied behavior analysis follows directly from the ideas of B.F. Skinner, who after Freud is probably the world’s most well-known psychologist. More about Skinner, and other theorists, as well as just about anything in psychology can be found at the Psi Café.
