Although ABA and [[behavior modification]] are similar behavior-change technologies in that the learning environment is modified through respondent and operant conditioning, behavior modification did not initially address the causes of the behavior (particularly, the environmental stimuli that occurred in the past), or investigate solutions that would otherwise prevent the behavior from reoccurring. As the evolution of ABA began to unfold in the mid-1980s, functional behavior assessments (FBAs) were developed to clarify the function of that behavior, so that it is accurately determined which differential reinforcement contingencies will be most effective and less likely for [[aversive]] [[punishment]]s to be administered.<ref name=JEAB2010>{{cite journal|pmc=2861871|title=Translational research in behavior analysis: Historic traditions and imperative for the future|author1=Mace, F.

There is various discourse about the moral of ABA’s practice of forcible assimilation of autistic people into society’s “normal”.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=McGill |first1=Owen |last2=Robinson |first2=Anna |date=2020-10-23 |title="Recalling hidden harms": autistic experiences of childhood applied behavioural analysis (ABA) |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/aia-04-2020-0025 |journal=Advances in Autism |volume=7 |issue=4 |pages=269–282 |doi=10.1108/aia-04-2020-0025 |s2cid=225282499 |issn=2056-3868}}</ref>

Such interests include everything from animal behavior and [[behavioral ecology|environmental conservation]], to classroom instruction (such as [[direct instruction]] and [[precision teaching]]), [[verbal behavior]], developmental disabilities and autism, clinical psychology (i.e., [[Criminology|forensic behavior analysis]]), [[behavioral medicine]] (i.e., behavioral gerontology, AIDS prevention, and fitness training), and [[Consumer behaviour|consumer behavior analysis]].
 
The field of [[Animal training|applied animal behavior]]—a sub-discipline of ABA that involves training animals—is regulated by the [[Animal Behavior Society]], and those who practice this technique are called applied animal behaviorists. Research on applied animal behavior has been frequently conducted in the ''Applied Animal Behaviour Science'' journal since its founding in 1974.
