,lawful, orderly
Determinism
objective observation
Empiricism
natural science methods discover general bx principles (in the lab)
Experimental Analysis
simplest, requires fewest assumptions
Parsimony
anything an organism does (dead man's test)
Behavior
accepts a mental basis for human bx
Mentalism
objectively observable, quantifiable behavioral events
,Environmental Explanations
clinical (lab) science on basic principles of bx, no social significance
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
bx change methods of ABA & scientific knowledge they came from (how we do what we do,
tools in toolbox)
Behavioral Technology
systematically applied procedures for socially significant bx change
Applied Behavior Analysis
Dimensions of ABA
Applied
Behavioral
Technological
Conceptually systematic
Effective
Generalization
social significance of the bx
, Applied
observable bx (what you do, not say you do)
Behavioral
data driven, shows experimental control over bx or non-bx
Analytic
data moving in desired direction (observable bx change, not a cure but practical results)
Effective
described in detail to enable others to replicate the procedure (task analysis)
Technological
procedures derived from basic bx principles, (based on literature) concept=idea, theory;
system=process
Conceptually Systematic
results last across people, places, & time
