An Applied Behavioral Scientist is trained in multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks that draw from the best of the behavioral sciences, including psychology, human development, planned behavioral change, sociology, verbal and non-verbal communication, cognition, cultural anthropology, and so on. The applied behavioral science disciplines also draw from advanced physics theories, biologically complex systems theories, and learning theories. Intercultural communication in its most basic form refers to an academic field of study and research that seeks to understand how people from different countries and cultures behave, communicate and perceive the world around them, including Verbal and Nonverbal communication (linguistic and precognitive symbolic behaviors) among people of different cultures.
