ABA International Fellows
John C. (Jay) Moore
Dr. John C. (Jay) Moore is recognized as one of the discipline’s most erudite scholars in the philosophy of radical behaviorism and conceptual issues in behavior analysis. Dr. Moore has published 40 papers on radical behaviorism and the philosophy of science in a wide variety of behavioral and psychological journals. His book The Conceptual Foundations of Radical Behaviorism provides the field with a comprehensive and sophisticated look at the philosophical underpinnings of the discipline. Dr. Moore has also contributed significantly to the experimental analysis of behavior, most importantly with a series of papers, beginning in 1975, on choice and reinforcer variables. His dedication to ABAI had been demonstrated through work with its accreditation board, with the editorial board and as editor of The Behavior Analyst, and as its president. The ABAI Fellows program itself is one of his contributions. Dr. Moore has presented more than 100 papers at conferences worldwide and has also served on editorial boards of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Behaviorism, The Psychological Record and the European Journal of Behavior Analysis. He has also served on the Board of Trustees of the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies.
