What are the seven dimensions of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Applied, Behavioral, Technological, Generality, Analytical, Conceptually Systematic, Effective
What is a way to remember the seven dimensions of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -GET A CAB
What does applied mean in the dimensions of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
the behavior of interest is socially significant and meaning.
ex. teaching a baby how to crawl or teaching a nonverbal adult to speak
What does behavioral mean in the dimensions of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
the behavior of interest is observable and measurable.
ex. jumping, kicking, hitting, crying, etc. (anything a dead person can do is NOT a behavior)
What does technological mean in the dimensions of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
the procedures we use to change the behavior of interest are clearly described and replicable.
ex. writing in an objective way so that other can read/comprehend it and replicate it.
What does conceptually systematic mean in the dimensions of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
our procedures are firmly grounded in the principles of behavior analysis.
ex. treatment should ALWAYS include reinforcement because it is a pillar of behavior analysis
What does analytical mean in the dimensions of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
we are sure our procedures are responsible for the corresponding behavior change.
ex. looking the data to make data-based decisions
What does effective mean in the dimensions of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
our procedures work to change behavior in the desired direction, and the change is substantial and rele
vant.
ex. the behavior in question is significant for the client and those affected by the client
, What does generality mean in the dimensions of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
treatment effects persist across setting, people, behaviors, and other stimuli.
ex. when the learned behavior is able to be displayed not just in the clinic/learning setting but at home,
in stores, etc.
How are target behavior selected for intervention? - CORRECT ANSWER --
they can be chosen because of their importance to man and society, rather than importance to theory
-
a target behavior should be positive and focus on what you would like the child to do as opposed to w
hat you do not want the child to do
-
Behavior analysts will use behavior assessments such as interviews, checklists, standardized tests, direc
t observation, and ecological assessments
Behavior analysis consists of which of the following branches? - CORRECT ANSWER -
philosophical branch, applied branch, and experimental branch
What is the philosophical/behaviorism branch of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
the theoretical and philosophical branch of the science where behaviorists analyze at conceptual levels
and create theoretical accounts of behavior that are consistent with existing data
What is the applied branch of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
involves using scientific principles and procedures discovered through basic and applied research to imp
rove socially significant behavior to a meaningful degree
What is the experimental branch of ABA? - CORRECT ANSWER -
a process of analysis that allows us to predict and control behaviors through operant conditioning techn
iques by establishing functions relations between antecedents and behaviors
Which branch in behavior analysis is also called behaviorism or radical behaviorism? -
CORRECT ANSWER -philosophical branch
