Why Is Brian Iwata Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Brian Anthony Iwata was an American psychologist. He was a Distinguished Professor at University of Florida. Research Iwata was best known for his article, "Toward a Functional Analysis of Self-Injury" which was originally published in 1982 and was republished in 1994 in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. The significance of this article on the field of Applied Behavior Analysis was monumental. Iwata and his coauthors developed an approach to determining why self-injury was happening on an individual basis, which involved empirically measuring the role of environmental events on self-injurious behavior, to determine what function it played in helping the individual access reinforcement. This individualized approach allowed for the development of function-based interventions which emphasized reinforcement, instead of punishment. The utility of this approach has been demonstrated in hundreds of published articles and has positively impacted the lives of people with disabilities who engage in self-injurious behavior as well as the lives of those who love them and care for them.
