The Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) made another hard decision to move the annual convention online this year instead of being in San Francisco, California. Although I am sad I am not able to see my favorite behavior analysts all in one eventful weekend, I am hopeful we will be able to see each other at next year’s convention in Boston, Massachusetts. Since I love staying updated with all verbal behavior (VB) research, I am once again sharing to everyone all things VB for this year’s convention! Below you will find direct links for all VB-related symposia, posters, and invited talks. If you are interested in attending a business meeting, make sure to stop by the VB SIG meeting on Sunday, May 30th from 7-7:50pm EST and the TAVB meeting on Monday, May 31st from 7-7:50pm EST.
Happy Conference!
