behavior via objective measurement & analysis
⩥ 7 dimensions of ABA. Answer: Applied, Behavioral, Analytic,
Technological, Conceptually Systematic, Effective, Generality
⩥ 7 Dimensions of ABA: applied. Answer: change must be of social
significance
⩥ 7 Dimensions of ABA: behavioral. Answer: focus on observable and
measurable behavior
,⩥ 7 Dimensions of ABA: analytic. Answer: functional relationship has
been reliably shown between environmental event & change in behavior
⩥ 7 Dimensions of ABA: Technological. Answer: procedures are
explained so that anyone can use them
⩥ 7 Dimensions of ABA: Conceptually Systematic. Answer:
procedures/interventions are derived from strong theoretical place
⩥ 7 Dimensions of ABA: Generalizable. Answer: change in behavior is
observed in different settings
⩥ BF Skinner. Answer: argued for analysis and examination of 3-term
contingency
⩥ Human Behavior is either:. Answer: Operant or Respondant
⩥ Human Behavior: Operant. Answer: evoked, learned, voluntary,
observable, measurable, the primary behavior observed in ABA,
controlled by antecedent/stimulus, assessed/modified by controlling
stimuli

involuntary
⩥ 3 term-contingency. Answer: antecedent, behavior, consequence OR
stimulus/response/stimulus
⩥ 4 consequences that influence behavior. Answer: positive & negative

interaction & communication, repetitive & stereotyped patterns of
interest
⩥ Challenging Behaviors. Answer: serves a purpose, often used as
communication; children w autism at risk for developing challenging
behaviors due to skill deficits
⩥ Behavioral Excesses. Answer: behaviors that occur too often, want to
decrease (stereotypic/repetitive, aggression, tantrums)
⩥ Behavioral Deficits. Answer: skills that are lacking/not fully
developed, want to increase (language, communication, play, attention,
cognition)
⩥ Diagnosis of Autism typically involves:. Answer: obtaining
developmental history of child & observing child/performing
assessments
