Norwegian ABA – 2025 Chapter Update
By Erik Arntzen
In 2024, the Norwegian Association (NAFO) had about 300 members, but this number has decreased over the last couple of years. Most of the NAFO members hold a bachelor’s degree in social welfare, a master’s degree in behavior science, or a doctoral degree in behavior analysis.
The Norwegian Association organizes a five-day annual conference in April. In 2024, 649 people attended the conference at Storefjell—a venue located in the mountains approximately a three-hour drive northwest of Oslo. Last year, we had 209 presentations. Usually, an invited international scholar attends the conference.
The Norwegian ABA publishes two journals: The Norwegian Journal of Behavior Analysis (NTA) and the European Journal of Behavior Analysis (EJOBA). NTA is published twice a year. This peer-reviewed journal accepts papers on research, practice, and conceptual issues in behavior analysis, primarily in Norwegian. Since 2011, English abstracts have been included. EJOBA (www.ejoba.org) is also a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. EJOBA is mainly focused on publications of experimental reports and theoretical or conceptual papers relevant to the analysis of individual organisms’ behavior. EJOBA has published several special issues since its first volume in 2000 and maintains a collaboration with the Taylor & Francis Group.
