Physiology is the scientific study of the functions and mechanisms in a living system, which directly supports the practice of medicine by providing foundational knowledge for diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of human health. Similarly, behavior analysis is the scientific study of principles of learning and behavior, and applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the application of those principles to solve practical problems, such as in therapeutic settings. Thus, just as physiology underpins medicine, behavior analysis underpins applied behavior analysis.
