,Determinism lawful, orderly
Empiricism objective observation
Experimental Analysis natural science methods discover general bx principles (in the lab)
Parsimony simplest, requires fewest assumptions
Behavior anything an organism does (dead man's test)
Mentalism accepts a mental basis for human bx
Environmental Explanations objectively observable, quantifiable behavioral events
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) clinical (lab) science on basic principles of bx, no social significance
Behavioral Technology bx change methods of ABA & scientific knowledge they came from (how we do what
we do, tools in toolbox)
Applied Behavior Analysis systematically applied procedures for socially significant bx change
l Applied Dimensions of ABA
l Behavioral
l Analytic
l Technological
l Conceptually systematic
l Effective
l Generalization
Applied social significance of the bx
Behavioral observable bx (what you do, not say you do)
Analytic data driven, shows experimental control over bx or non-bx
, Effective data moving in desired direction (observable bx change, not a cure but practical
results)
Technological described in detail to enable others to replicate the procedure (task analysis)
Conceptually Systematic procedures derived from basic bx principles, (based on literature) concept=idea,
theory; system=process
Generality results last across people, places, & time
Retention maintained over time
Endurance resistant to extinction
Stability you know it (not sort of)
Response specific instance of a particular bx
Response Class share common elements to produce same consequence
"Hi" /"Hello"
Stimulus any condition, event, or change in the environment (function=way it works;
topographical=way it looks)
Stimulus Class set of stimuli with a common relationship (color)
Positive Reinforcement stimulus is added & likelihood of future bx increases
Negative Reinforcement stimulus is removed/avoided & likelihood of future bx increases
Reinforcement process (reinforcement) of increasing rate of bx through the addition or removal of a
stimulus (reinforcer)
Unconditioned Reinforcer unlearned, stimuli able to increase future rate of bx without previous exposure
(H2O, O2, sex, sleep, pain)
