Relational frame theory (RFT) as a behavior-analytic approach to understanding human language and cognition is now over 40 years old. However, the last 8 years have seen a relatively intense period of empirical and conceptual developments within the theory. Some of this work has begun to draw on early and much underplayed features of RFT, including field-theoretical analyses and concepts. These analyses are relatively nascent and thus the current article aims to provide a relatively detailed example of a field-theoretical analysis of a specific RFT research program. We begin with a brief overview of the "traditional" RFT approach to human language and cognition, followed by a summary of recent research involving the implicit relational assessment procedure (IRAP) and the differential arbitrarily applicable relational responding effects (DAARRE) model. We then go on to consider the DAARRE model in the context of J. R. Kantor's interbehavioral formula for the psychological event. Having done so, we conclude that the challenge involved in analyzing increasingly complex forms of human language and cognition appears to call for more field-based theorizing in some form or another.
关系框架理论（RFT）作为一种理解人类语言和认知的行为分析方法，至今已有40多年的历史。然而，在过去8年里，该理论经历了一个相对密集的实证和概念发展阶段。其中一些工作开始借鉴RFT早期且长期未得到充分重视的特征，包括场论分析和概念。这些分析相对较新，因此本文旨在提供一个相对详细的示例，展示对特定RFT研究项目的场论分析。我们首先简要概述“传统”的RFT人类语言和认知方法，接着总结近期涉及内隐关系评估程序（IRAP）和差异任意适用关系反应效应（DAARRE）模型的研究。然后，我们在J. R. 坎托的心理事件互动行为公式的背景下考虑DAARRE模型。在此之后，我们得出结论，分析日益复杂的人类语言和认知形式所涉及的挑战似乎需要某种形式的更多基于场的理论构建。
