technological - Written description of all procedures in the study is sufficiently complete and
detailed to enable others to replicate it
All operative procedures are identified and described in detail & clarity
Replicable technology
7 dimensions of ABA - Applied
Behavioral
Analytic
Technological
Conceptual
Effective
Generality
Applied - Investigates socially significant behaviors with immediate importance to the participant
analytic - Demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and non-occurrence of the
behavior (a functional relation is demonstrated)
Functional & replicable relationships
conceptually systematic - Behavior change interventions are derived from basic principles of
behavior
Better enable research consumer to derive other similar procedures from the same principle(s)
Assist in integrating discipline into a system instead of a "collection of tricks"
effective - Improves behavior sufficiently to produce practical results for the participant(s)
