Unit 9 Flashcards
Domains of Behavior Analysis
The 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 permeates all the branches
Experimental Analysis of Behavior(EAB)
Basic research; Discovery of basic principles and processes in the laboratoryUses cumulative records, manipulation of variables and automated recording
4 Methodologies of EAB
Direct,repeated measurement of behaviorRate of response as the basic datumVisual inference (graphing)Within subject comparisons
Applied Behavior Analysis
Design, implementation and evaluation of systematic environmental modifications to produce socially significant change in the real world (applied research)
ABA Practice
Implementation of validated EAB and ABA procedures to assess and improve socially important human behaviors
Seven Dimensions of ABA
Applied Behavioral Analytic Technological Conceptually Systematic Effective Generality
Article that defined ABA and the 7 dimensions
“Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis” by Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968.
Applied
The implementation of basic principles to changebehaviors of significance to clients
Behavioral
Behavior is directly observed and measured, usually in the real-life environment
Analytic
Seeks to identify functional relations between manipulated environmental events and behavior through systematic and controlled 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 with data-based procedure changes
Generality
Behavior changes achieved should maintain, transfer to other settings and situations, and spread to other behaviors
