This episode covers the serious matter of consent and assent as it relates to behavior analytic research. Reviewing the common laws on the topic, the authors make the point that, legally, we may not be required to do much… But that does not mean that ethically, we are off the hook. After examining all of the relevant journals, very few published articles described in detail the assent procedures used to ensure our clients rights. Potential reasons why and solutions are discussed, as well as a cost benefit analysis of training assenting skills in young learners.
