7 Dimensions
Generality, effective, technological, applied, conceptually systematic, analytic, behavioral (GET A CAB)
Generality
Behavior change endures and occurs across settings
Effective
Behavior change has social validity
Technological
Procedure is described so it is able to be replicated
Applied
Targeted behavior is socially significant
Conceptually Systematic
Procedure is rooted in principles of ABA
Analytic
FR between intervention and behavior change
Behavioral
Emphasis on repeated measures of behavior of interest
Methodological vs Radical Behaviorism
Similar: both study public events
Different: Methodological acknowledges private events exist, but argue they cannot be objectively observed and does not study them. Radical studies private events as part of the science as well as public
Experimental Analysis of Behavior
Basic research into principles and behaviors
Service Delivery
Applying empirically derived procedure to address socially significant behaviors
