Term | Definition |
---|---|
applied behavior analysis | scientific approach for discovering environmental variables that influence socially significant behavior |
behaviourism | philosophy of science of behavior |
determinism | lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as he result of other events |
empiricism | objective observation of the phenomena of interest. open to anyones observation |
experiment | comparison, measure of phenomenon under two or more different conditions, only one factor at a time differ from one condition to another |
experimental analysis of behavior | (EAB) natural science approach to behaviour basic research basuc researcg diomain, discovering and clarifing principles of behavior in lab sestinas with humans and animals |
explanatory fiction | hypothetical variable takes form of another name of the observed behavior that contributes nothing to an understanding of variables responsible for developing or maintaining the behavior |
funcional relation | specific change in dependant variable can be produced by specific manipulations of another event (independent variable) and the change in dependant variable was unlikely result of other extraneous factors (confounding variables) |
hypothetical construct | presumed but unobserved processes or entities |
mentalism | study of behavior assumes mental or "inner" dimensions exists that differs from behavioural dimensions |
methodological behaviorism | philosophical position views behavioural events that can't be observed as outside realm of science |
parsimony | all simple, logical explanations for phenomenon under investigations be ruled out experimentally or conceptually before more complex abstract explanations considered |
philosophic doubt | willing to continually question truthfulness what is regarded as fact |
radical behaviorism | attempts to understand all human behavior including thoughts and feelings in terms of controlling variables in history of person and species |
replication | repeating of experiments to make sure functional relation |
science | systematic approach for seeking and organizing knowledge about world |
description | collection of facts about observed events can be quantified, classified and examined for relations with other known facts |
correlation | systematic covariation between two events is found |
prediction | repeated observations reveal that two events consistently covary |
control | functional relations can be derived |
science | through understanding of the phenomenon under study |
S-R-S | three term contingency |
B.F. Skinner | founder of experimental analysis of behavior, worked mostly with animals |
mentalism | mental or "inner" dimension exists hat differs from a behavioral dimension |
analytic | functional relation between occurrence/non occurrence of manipulated events and target behavior |
applied | investigating socially significant behaviours importance to participants potentially result in improvements (day to day) |
Technological | procedures applied identified and described with sufficient detail replicate application with same results |
conceptually | procedures for changing beadier and why and how effective, described in terms of relevant principles form which derived |
effective | improve target behavior to a degree that is socially significant results in noticeable change in ppl lives |
Generality | behavior change lasts over time, appears in new environments other than one learned, spreads to other behaviours not directly treated |
behavioral | behavior selected one in need for improvement, measurable, change in client not other parties or environment |
GET A CAB | 7characteristics |
accountable | effective, frequent measurement, when we are effect or failing, collecting data |
aba additional | public, visible, explicit and straight forward. Do-able, empowering, optimistic, |
radical | far reaching and thorough behaviorism assumes all behavior explained by analyzing environmental events that perched and follow |

1960 | increasing research applied to humans, university courses offered, Journal applied behavior analysis published |
1970 | association for behavior analysis established |
practice guided | human and effective technology of behavior change based on the other three behviorirsm |
behavior analysis - philosophical subsystem-basich research-applied - service delivery | all working together |
PBS | positive behaior support |
