ABA

TermDefinition
Empiricism The objective observation of the phenomena of interest.
Experimentation Manipulation of the independent variable to produce a change in the dependent variable
Replication Repeating conditions within experiment to determine the reliability and increase internal validity, or repeating whole experiments to determine the generality of findings
Parsimony The practice of ruling out simple logical explanations, experimentally or conceptually, before considering more complex or abstract explanations
Philosophic Doubt An attitude that the truthfulness and validity of all scientific theory and knowledge should be continuously questioned
Pragmatism Assess the truth of theories in terms of the successes of their application
Behaviorism The philosophy of a science of behavior; there are various forms
Radical Behaviorism A thoroughgoing form of behaviorism that attempts to understand all human behavior
Determinants of behavior Causes of behavior; probabilistic
Selection The process in which repeated cycles occur of variation, interaction with the environment, and differential replication as a function of the interaction.
Domains of Behavior Analysis The Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Behavior Analysis Service Delivery, Conceptual Analysis of Behavior
ABA The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior.
EAB A natural science approach to the study of behavior as a subject matter in its own right
ABA Practice . To help other persons to achieve their outcomes with the implementation of procedures validated by ABA researchers to make a difference in people’s lives
Methodologies of EAB Direct, repeated measurement of behavior. Rate of response as the basic datum. Visual inference (graphing). Within subject comparisons.
7 Dimensions of ABA Generality, Effect, Technological, Applied, Behavior, Analysis, Conceptually Systematic
Applied Investigation behaviors of social significance
Behavior The activity of living organisms. Human behavior- everything that people do
Analytic Refers to the experimenter’s ability to demonstrate a functional relationship
Technological Requires that a procedure be clearly described
Conceptually Systematic Requires that behavior change interventions are derived from the principles of behavior
Effective Requires that the results be meaningful and improve the behavior to a practical degree
Generality Behavior changes achieved should maintain, transfer to other settings and situations, and spread to other behaviors.
Conceptual Analysis Addresses philosophical, theoretical, historical, and methodological issues
Behavior Analysis A natural science that studies functional relations between behavior and environmental events

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
