Domains of Behavior Analysis Flashcards
Domains of Behavior Analysis
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Behavior Analysis Service Delivery
Conceptual Analysis of Behavior
Radical Behaviorism
The basic foundation for our conceptual analyses and premeated all the branches.
Experimental Analysis of Behavior
Basic research; provides the scientific method for studying behavior by using cumulative records, manipulation of variables and automated recording.
Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied research that applied the basic principles derived from EAB to solve problems of social significance
ABA Practice
To help other persons to achieve their outcomes with the implementation of procedures validated by ABA researchers to make a difference in people’s lives
Methodologies of EAB
Direct, repeated measurement of behavior.
Rate of response as the basic datum.
Visual inference (graphing)
Within subject comparisons
Seven Dimensions of ABA
Applied Behavioral Analytic Technological Conceptually Systematic Effective Generality
Applied
The implementation of basic principles to change behaviors of significance to clients
Behavioral
Directly observed and measured
Analytic
Seeks to identify functional relations between manipulated environmental events and behavior through systematic manipulations.
Technological
Procedures are completely identified, and precisely described and defined.
Conceptually Systematic
Procedures are linked to, and described in terms of, the basic principles of behavior
Effective
An accountable discipline in which changes in procedure are data based
Generality
Behavior changes achieved should maintain, transfer to other settings and situations, and spread to other behaviors.
Conceptual Analysis
Deals with philosophical and theoretical issues (is it based on the principles of radical behaviorism?)
